Package: mc Version: 3:4.8.13-2 Severity: important Reporting this for a system which does not have reportbug installed (edited the information).
I just wanted to move some old IRC logs to the side, so I marked them, hit F6 to move to the old/ subdirectory, and told mc to append. I got an error message: ║ ║ Cannot preallocate space for target file "/home/t/tglaser~ev_arandom.log" ║ │ ║ ║ ║ Bad file descriptor (9) ║ │ ║ When I hit “abort”, it cleanly aborted, and nothing happened. But when I hit “skip”, the target(!) file is deleted. ① Why does this error occur in the first place? Filesystem is: /dev/sda6 on /home type ext3 (rw,relatime,quota,usrquota,data=ordered) ② It should not lose data. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.16-3-686-pae Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: nevermind -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
