Hm, are you thinking of #791? It began life as #778, but calved off into its own ticket. The patch that Kevan has written for #778 would cause weak uploads to fail, as you desire, without changing your FEC parameters. However the current version of his patch has a problem -- in certain unusual edge conditions it could cause a strong upload to fail. > In any case, the more important part of my question was how to fix > the present problem, rather than how to avoid it in the future :-) Ah, yes. So the process you described sounds like it would work, to me, but for immutable files there is an easier way -- just copy the share files to other servers. :-) Regards, Zooko http://allmydata.org/trac/tahoe/ticket/778 # "shares of happiness" is the wrong measure; "servers of happiness" is better http://allmydata.org/trac/tahoe/ticket/791 # Optimize FEC parameters to increase download performance _______________________________________________ tahoe-dev mailing list [email protected] http://allmydata.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tahoe-dev
