2020-06-04 02:27:26 ronso0 description When there's absolutely no disk space left Mixxx * can't write the waveform image anymore and fails to load tracks * can't be shutdown * screws up config, appearantly it can't save mixxx.cfg & soundconfig.xml anymore I watched this happen recently on a vanilla Ubuntu Studio 18.04. Meanwhile, the desktop was still fully functional, no low-space sysmptons. Don't know if that's a rare scenario, but it definitely stopped the show. "Instead we should write a second file and then replace the original with it. That way we can avoid losing data when the write fails" https://mixxx.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/109171-development/topic/Warn.20about.20low.20disk.20space When there's absolutely no disk space left Mixxx * can't write the waveform image anymore and fails to load tracks * can't be shutdown * screws up config, appearantly it can't save mixxx.cfg & soundconfig.xml anymore I watched this happen recently on a vanilla Ubuntu Studio 18.04.
