Subject: iceweasel & icedove crashed, corrupted filesystem, ~/.mozilla-thunderbird became a pipe

Date: Sun, 09 Mar 2008 17:26:23 +0100

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: icedove
Version: 2.0.0.9-3
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

icedove (and iceweasel) crashed. Any of them would start again. I decided to reboot.

After a reboot, /home filesystem was corrupted. Attached fsck report. fsck fixed a lot of
bad things that I don't know about.

After doing a fsck manually I was able to recover my system.

Loging in again, I cannot start icedove, because
~/.mozilla-thunderbird directory became a pipe:

ls -dl ~/.mozilla-thunderbird
prwSr----- 1 2254054345 2382335272 0 sep 25  1983 /home/catherine/.mozilla-thunderbird

iceweaseal started, ~/.mozilla was not affected by the same "pipe" error, but all my
preferences, bookmarks, ... were lost.

Best regards,
CB

Closing this bug as its unlikely that this was caused by icedove code
itself. most likely something else intermediate. If you can reproduce
this in any way, feel free to reopen.
