Package: zoneminder Version: 1.24.2-7 Severity: grave Justification: causes non-serious data loss
Like many zoneminder users wanting to use a dedicated mount for cctv storage, I replace /usr/share/zoneminder/events and images with symlinks to the right place (ie, a bigger drive not in /usr) zoneminder upgrade silently deletes these symlinks and recreates the original hard directories there. zoneminder then restarts and zmaudit can no longer find the associated files so kills the events database entries. Result - total emptying of zoneminder database and non-recovery of sorted events, including those archived. Lost three weeks recordings (2tb) data from an entire site, plus archives going back for a year. :( Please include tests for symlinks and leave in place if found.
