When symbolic links are used for server configuration directories, the vfs cached deployments are not found within the CombinedVFSCache permanent roots ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBVFS-137 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBVFS-137 Project: JBoss VFS Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public (Everyone can see) Affects Versions: 2.1.3.SP1 Reporter: Mike Clark Assignee: John Bailey When a symbolic link (symlink) is used for a server configuration directory (for example, <jboss-home>/server/elsewhere -> /somewhere/default) there is a mismatch between paths used for the CombinedVFSCache's permanentroots and those used to find items in the cache. "CombinedVFSCache" which is configured in <jboss-home>/server/<server-dir>/conf/bootstrap/vfs.xml. In this configuration, several "permanentroots" are configured based on properties. While the properites themselves utilize a path with the symlink, the URLEditor that converts the string to a URL will convert the path, resolving the symlink. (This is because the URLEditor utilzes the org.jboss.util.Strings class which makes a call to java.io.File#getCanonicalFile()) However, lookups make into the cache will utilize a non-resolved path and thus do not match the permanent roots. Due to another bug, JBVFS-134, this bug can lead to duplicate entries in the <jboss-home>/server/<server-dir>/tmp/vfs-nested.tmp directory and, ultimately, to disk full errors. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
