New submission from Denis Martinez <deuns.marti...@gmail.com>:
I have written a server backup script (file attached) which archives a
list of directories with tarfile and uploads the file to FTP. Today, the
script hanged, with an exception:
Exception in thread Thread-1:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/threading.py", line 525, in __bootstrap_inner
self.run()
File "./backup.py", line 48, in run
tar.add(file_or_directory, recursive=True)
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/tarfile.py", line 1981, in add
self.add(os.path.join(name, f), os.path.join(arcname, f), recursive,
exclude)
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/tarfile.py", line 1965, in add
tarinfo = self.gettarinfo(name, arcname)
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/tarfile.py", line 1834, in gettarinfo
statres = os.lstat(name)
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/srv/myfile.htdigest'
What I did here is that I removed the htdigest file while the tarfile
was archiving /srv. I haven't managed to reproduce the bug a second time.
It seems normal that tarfile shouldn't fail is this case; maybe it needs
some exception checking around the stat/lstat calls.
