Bug#313206: sox: Does not cope well with running out of disk space

2005-07-11 Thread Andrew Ferrier 
It appears so. I am now using a Sarge system, and dpkg -s sox produces
'Version: 12.17.7-2'

I tested the bug again using:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp$ mount -t tmpfs -o size=7M tmpfs /tmp/test
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp$ cd /tmp/test
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/test$ cp blah.ogg /tmp/test
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/test$ ls -l
total 7.0M
-rw---  1 root root 5.2M 2005-07-11 12:41 blah.ogg
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/test$ sox /tmp/test/blah.ogg /tmp/test/blah.wav
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/test$ echo $?
0
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/test$ ls -l
total 7.0M
-rw---  1 root root 5.2M 2005-07-11 12:41 blah.ogg
-rw---  1 root root 1.9M 2005-07-11 12:42 blah.wav

It seems the wav file has been silently truncated (and thus it's not
just the au - wav conversion producing a problem).

Thanks,
Andrew.

 Hi Andrew,
 
 Do you know if this bug also affects the sarge version of sox?

Bug#313206: sox: Does not cope well with running out of disk space

2005-06-12 Thread Andrew Ferrier 
Package: sox
Version: 12.17.3-4woody2
Severity: grave
Justification: causes non-serious data loss

I invoke sox in the following way:

sox file.au file.wav

sox runs out of disk space half-way through the conversion (as confirmed
by a subsequent df), but appears to terminate normally: nothing is
printed to stdout, and the return code is 0. The target file is
definitely truncated, as can be easily discovered by playing it.

I feel this indicates a grave problem as the user or a script might then
decide to delete the source file file.au, perhaps permanently losing the
latter part of the audio data from the file. Of course in theory they
should check the contents of the target file, but this isn't always
feasible, particularly during mass conversions.

This bug is filed on a woody system, but I have checked the changelog
in sarge and I can't see any obvious fixes to this problem. I can
re-test this problem on sarge in about a week when I have time to
upgrade my system, if necessary.

Thanks,
Andrew.
