It tries to save there, deletes original file and crash without any dialog leaving user without document (or backup -- make backups on save doesn't help eather)
Dobrica, thanks for taking the time to post. What type of network drive are you saving to ( Windows Share/UNC, Novell, Samba ).
Tried saving to a full local drive on Win NT 4.0 SP6a with OO 1.0.1. I see the following error message: "Error saving the document <document title> Nonexistant object Nonexistant file"
I'm using Samba 2.999+3.0cvs20020827-1 from Debian unstable. I have same error message ("Nonexistant object, Nonexistant file") when I try to save to full NT disk, but saving to full disk exported by samba just crashed my wordp.
I wasn't clear enough about what causes the bug to appear. Here is complete description how to reproduce problem: 1. save writer document 2. fill rest of disk space (dd if=/dev/zero of=foo will do) 3. save document (with save only, not save as! It will report "Nonexistant object, Nonexistant file") 4. save again -- it will delete original file, crash and leave file svgok.tmp, svic4.tmp or something like it behind) As a side note, it will crash all OpenOffice applications that are opened at that time. I thought that problem was related to samba and found one somewhat related entry in M$ knowedge base: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;Q290861& and news posting about same problem http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&threadm=ad54p9%242l5u%241%40FreeBSD.csie.NCTU.edu.tw&rnum=4&prev=/groups%3Fq%3Dsamba%2Bdisk%2Bfull%2Bproblem%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26ie%3DUTF-8%26selm%3Dad54p9%242l5u%241%2540FreeBSD.csie.NCTU.edu.tw%26rnum%3D4 However, I manged to reproduce same problem on W2000 using ZIP disk (without network shares -- I don't have partition full enough :-).
Dobrica, thanks for the clear instructions. Duplicated on Win NT 4.0 SP6a, OOo 1.0.1, local disk.
Created attachment 2905 [details] Dr. Watson log from OOo crashing when trying to save to a full drive
Was able to successfully replicate this bug on a Windows 2000 (Service pack 3) system using the latest build (643C) of Open Office 1.0.1. Steps for replicating the bug are: 1) Create a new OOo text document and type some text in it. 2) Fill up the local disk space (I used 'Holodeck' testing tool to simulate this situation. 'Holodeck' is a wonderful testing tool available at http://www.se.fit.edu/projects/holodeck/index.html that allows one to simulate certain disk,memory and network faults). 3) Now try to save the file. 4) As we can see, the Open office starts saving the file and eventually crashes. One of the follow-up tests for this situation that I did was to repeat the above steps by simulating a low-memory situaion using the same 'Holodeck' testing tool; Open office crashed in this scenario too.
JA->TM: please have a look. Reassigned to you...
Problem has been fixed to SO 6.1 beta and won´t therefore occur in a OO 1.1.beta too.
This task is fixed or worked in OOo 1.1 beta2.
