I've tripped over this bug so many times and it's killing my SSD. I have manual compaction turned on and I only compact when the saving is over 1G. And approximately 1 in 16 times the compaction becomes pathological; it just keeps consuming disk until the disk is full, the highest I have seen was about 180G of disk used in one nsmtp file for a 11G mailbox. Once the behaviour becomes pathological the only way to fix it is to rebuild the mailbox (with the time and disk write pain that comes with that); trying to compact the folder again only leads to more pathological behaviour.
All of this is "write killing" my SSD (I must have written several terabytes in the space 90 days due to this bug). Any plans to refactor this code? From the sounds of it is a real hairball of code. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2060534 Title: Thunderbird doesn't always clean nstmp cache files To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/thunderbird/+bug/2060534/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
