Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 65728
Writer 2.0.1 hangs or crashes on save when out of disk space
Last modified: 2006-08-21 13:18:33 UTC
I am running OO 2.0.1 on SuSE Linux 9.3. Preconditions: You have a filesystem with less disk space available than the size of the file you are attempting to save. Steps to reproduce: 1) Save As, in .odt format, as a new file in the filesystem in question. Bug: The Writer application either crashes (in the case of the filesystem being reiserfs) or hangs (in the case of the filesystem being ext3). Expected behavior: a friendly error dialog explaining that I do not have enough disk space in that location to save the file, and a choice of cancelling the save or attempting to save in another location. I initially ran into this problem when saving a large (@150K) document on a network filesystem with almost no available space. I then verified the problem on a couple of loopback filesystems (ext3 and reiserfs). That would be the easiest way to set up filesystems with next to no free space.
Framework issue.
Not reproducible in OOo 2.0.3. No crash at all.
Is ok in OOo 2.0.3
Yes, I have verified that both cases have been improved by 2.0.2 on Linux. However, the error message "General Input/Output Error" leaves something to be desired, so I'm going to open a separate issue about that.
