[Bug 2060534]

2024-07-18 Thread M-matt-s
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.

Please report your version when posting.

And if you are not on beta 127.0b5 or newer, or esr 128, it will helpful
if you can update and report results based on the newest version. The

Yeah, that'd probably do it, but I'm not planning to make further changes to 
that just now. My compaction rewrite a few weeks back uses an existing file 
class from m-c  (via `NS_NewSafeLocalFileOutputStream()`) which creates a 
unique file and automatically deletes it if an explicit commit is not 
performed. The old code required explicit cleanup handling, and there were lots 
of complicated error conditions could mean it'd get skipped.
So the new code is waay more robust and better at cleaning up.

Yes, it's probably possible to screw it up by abruptly killing (rather
than shutting down) the app at a critical point, or powering off... but
I'm not so worried about that. That way lies fsync() madness :-) The
benefits of using the battle-tested `NS_NewSafeLocalFileOutputStream()`
rather than rolling my own seems like a good trade-off for now.

You need to write it to the same filesystem, so you can be sure of an
atomic(ish) replacement.

What Geoff said :-)
But if it's a startup/migration-check routine, do we have the accounts and 
folder structure up and running by that time?

It could be done at folder-compaction time (in c++, ick ;-), but it does
mean looking at folders outside the one you're actually compacting which
just feels a little odd (but I'm sure I'll get over it!)

Yes indeed, I was thinking a startup migration check should be the way to go.
Do we have a way to safely detect only those files that have been generated by 
folder compaction? To make sure we exclude any user generated content.
NI Geoff and Magnus to get some validation or suggestions here.

Best I've got is to check a candidate file doesn't match the `filePath`
or `summaryFile` of any `nsIMsgFolder`. If we're only looking for things
starting with `nstmp` speed shouldn't be any more of an issue compared
to iterating through the files.

This wouldn't prevent accidentally deleting files in accounts that have
been removed from Thunderbird but not from the file system. I guess we
could look only in the files of active accounts.

> Ben, can you tackle this?

Just to be clear, this means looking for and deleting nstmp files from failed 
compaction attempts before the compaction rewrite, right?
I'm a little nervous about just deleting any file matching `nstmp(-[0-9]+)?`... 
you just _know_ there's someone out there with folders called "nstmp".
It'd have to be matched up against the folder structure to make sure you 
weren't deleting a legit mbox called "nstmp-53".

Would it make more sense to do this in javascript as part of a startup
migration-check pass?

The sent folder is also quite large, 50GB.

Is auto compact enabled, or do you do compaction only when it asks/or

I didn't change the setting, so I think it's probably enabled by default.
I dug through the settings now and was not able to locate it.

I noticed that too. I deleted it and it. The reconstructed file is 16GB.

It looks like this function is not always cleaning up after itself.
For example, if an exception is thrown here,  CleanupTempFilesAfterError is 
never called:

Why not wrap it with a big "try finally" to always delete the file if it
exists when the function returns?

might not be able to compact a large folder because you don't have

Does it say anything in the Error console ?
Open Error console (Ctrl + Shift + J') or 'Tools' > 'Developer Tools' > 'Error

Clear Error console - top left bin icon

right click on 'Sent' folder and select 'compact'
If compacting does not work - Sent-1 is still 50Gb and  nsmtp appears.
What do you see in Error Console - please post an image.

[Bug 2060534] [NEW] Thunderbird disk usage out of control

2024-04-08 Thread luca moscato
Public bug reported:

Environment: Thunderbird 124.0 64bits installed as SNAP on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
3 gmail imap account

This (monday) morning Ubuntu notify me that I was running out of disk
space, and while I was checking where the problem was, the disk analyzer
told me the answer

snap/thunderbird/common directory has a size of more than 360GB, pretty strange 
since my gmail account have 15GB and 30GB of quota (half used more or less)
One of them is a shared one we use for notfication with almost 100k emails, 
flow is very high since with my team we receive emails, handle and archive them.

I tryed to compact database, keep on disk only latest 90 days email but
the sistem started to suffer issues due to no disk space so that I tried
to remove that account and instantly more than 250GB of data on disk
disappeared.

Issue found and fixed but:
- Thunderbird should NOT use so much disk space, some cleanup process MUST be 
implemented to keep disk usage under control, as I wrote system usage is 
impaired
- Is this issue index-related? Since I do a lot of quick search on that account
- Is something snap/linux related? Could be found also on Windows/Mac?
- If someone needs logs, I'd be happy to provide them but I need instructions 
about how to retrieve them.
