[issue7357] tarfile doesn't detect disk full error on extraction
Lars Gustäbel l...@gustaebel.de added the comment: I changed the default value for the errorlevel argument, so that fatal errors are now raised as regular exceptions by default (trunk: r76780, py3k: r76782). Thank you very much for bringing up this issue. -- resolution: - accepted status: open - closed type: - behavior ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue7357 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue7357] tarfile doesn't detect disk full error on extraction
Eli Venter even...@jcvi.org added the comment: Yes, thanks errorlevel works as expected, and errors are correctly generated. It's quite unintuitive to ignore fatal errors by default however. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue7357 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue7357] tarfile doesn't detect disk full error on extraction
New submission from Eli Venter even...@jcvi.org: tarfile doesn't seem to return any error or raise any exception when an extraction fills up the disk, making it hard to use safely. Both extractall and extract suffer from this problem. I'm using CentOS 5.2 and python 2.6.2. -- components: Library (Lib) messages: 95481 nosy: eliv severity: normal status: open title: tarfile doesn't detect disk full error on extraction versions: Python 2.6 ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue7357 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue7357] tarfile doesn't detect disk full error on extraction
Lars Gustäbel l...@gustaebel.de added the comment: The TarFile constructor (as well as tarfile.open) takes an errorlevel keyword argument. See http://docs.python.org/dev/library/tarfile.html#tarfile-objects I quote: If errorlevel is 0, all errors are ignored when using TarFile.extract(). Nevertheless, they appear as error messages in the debug output, when debugging is enabled. If 1, all fatal errors are raised as OSError or IOError exceptions. If 2, all non-fatal errors are raised as TarError exceptions as well. Hope that helps. -- assignee: - lars.gustaebel nosy: +lars.gustaebel ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue7357 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
