When I went to open my old Data.fs file, the goblins had secretly returned it to the exact state it was in at my last backup...two weeks before! How???? How could it have possibly known?!
If you have a reproducable example of a data.fs file that is misread by FileStorage at startup, then I am sure that the FileStorage maintainers will be keen to take a look. Is this recorded on the collector?
I honestly didn't think anyone would want to spend their time looking at my problem, so I just rebuilt from the Data.fs I had. It appears, though, that a Data.fs.tmp file remains untainted since the crash.
Also, if you happen to know a good exorsict, please let me know <g> beno
You may want to look at DirectoryStorage, http://dirstorage.sourceforge.net, which is desiged to simplify storage-related exorcisms.
This looks good! Thanks! beno
