As a side note, it sounds like MS is discouraging the use of Transactional NTFS now: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa363764(v=vs.85).aspx says "Microsoft strongly recommends developers utilize alternative means to achieve your application’s needs. Many scenarios that TxF was developed for can be achieved through simpler and more readily available techniques. Furthermore, TxF may not be available in future versions of Microsoft Windows." And I haven't analyzed this guy's reasoning, http://stupidpythonideas.blogspot.com/2014/07/getting-atomic-writes-right.html says that for simply doing an atomic replace of a file, using ReplaceFile or MoveFileEx is a better option. So, while it seems like using transactional NTFS *should* work, perhaps the better solution is for _rename() in trac/util/__init__.py to just use the existing MoveFileEx code and not bother with the _rename_atomic() that uses transactional NTFS? -- Name: Dave Huang | Mammal, mammal / their names are called / INet: [email protected] | they raise a paw / the bat, the cat / FurryMUCK: Dahan | dolphin and dog / koala bear and hog -- TMBG Dahan: Hani G Y+C 40 Y++ L+++ W- C++ T++ A+ E+ S++ V++ F- Q+++ P+ B+ PA+ PL++ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Trac Users" group.
