From 12b6c951cf5ca6055a22a2eec85665353f5510e5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Ludovic=20Court=C3=A8s?= Date: Fri, 28 Oct 2016 20:34:15 +0200 Subject: daemon: Do not error out when deduplication fails due to ENOSPC. This solves a problem whereby if /gnu/store/.links had enough entries, ext4's directory index would be full, leading to link(2) returning ENOSPC. * nix/libstore/optimise-store.cc (LocalStore::optimisePath_): Upon ENOSPC from link(2), print a message and return instead of throwing a 'SysError'. --- nix/libstore/optimise-store.cc | 23 ++++++++++++++++++----- 1 file changed, 18 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) (limited to 'nix') diff --git a/nix/libstore/optimise-store.cc b/nix/libstore/optimise-store.cc index d7508b025e..565c62ca83 100644 --- a/nix/libstore/optimise-store.cc +++ b/nix/libstore/optimise-store.cc @@ -148,10 +148,23 @@ void LocalStore::optimisePath_(OptimiseStats & stats, const Path & path, InodeHa inodeHash.insert(st.st_ino); return; } - if (errno != EEXIST) + + switch (errno) { + case EEXIST: + /* Fall through if another process created ‘linkPath’ before + we did. */ + break; + + case ENOSPC: + /* On ext4, that probably means the directory index is full.
