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.
Thanks.
