Description mdekkers 2003-06-16 14:57:36 UTC 
saving a file to what later turns out to be a slightly corrupted VFAT filesystem does not 
generate error messages. OOo does not warn when the filesystem is not doing any saving at 
all. This leads the user (me!!) to believe that his work (a presentation I am about to deliver!!) is 
saved, when in fact, it has not. Closing OOo and late reopening leads to irrevocable data loss. 
 
It could be argued that this is a filesystem issue and not an OOo issue, however, at no point did 
I receive a warning that my filesystem is not 100% okay (using SuSE 8.2), and OOo just saves 
the file.

HI->US: I have no VFAT. Please take over.

Martijn,

"slightly corrupted VFAT filesystem" what's that? Warnings in your
syslog? Which? Problems on mounting? What else?

Question: how should OOo control the filesystem?
Isn't an OS thought of providing proper file handling?

Although I really pitty you, but P1 seems inappropriate. Repriorityzing.

Transferring to TM.

I've never heard that any application is warning if you try to save on
a "slightly corrupted" file system and I'm sure that OOo won't do
this. But this is not a defect this is an 'enormous' new feature to
integrate a system diagnostic tool to OOo.
Bettina,
please have a look.

To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on
my owner to the owner "requirements".
