| subject | [contrib #677] save writes 0 bytes if filesystem is full | |||
| code |
Linux 2.6.22, eclipse 3.2. To reproduce: * start editing a scala file * fill up the filesystem on which the scala file resides * save the scala file |
|||
| what happened | Eclipse warns of a plugin failure, but doesn't mention the filesystem-full error. Eclipse then warns that the fi\ le has changed on disk, and prompts to reload. If the file is reloaded, the buffer is now empty and the contents\ are lost. |
|||
| what expected | It would be nice if the error message explicitly warned that no space remains on the filesystem. It would be nice if save were disabled until the problem was corrected. The goal should be to avoid data loss (unless Eclipse itself crashes), while giving the user time to free some space on-disk. | |||

| I guess Sean will not test on Linux but he might find the offending code based on the description of the bug. |

| This sounds like an issue with Eclipse, we just use their built in save functionality. The contributor should redirect their question through eclipse.org. |
