Hello,<br>
<br>
Yesterday I had an instance of Digikam (8.2.0) on <span
style="font-family:monospace"><span
style="color:#000000;background-color:#ffffff;">Ubuntu 22.04.4
LTS (Kubuntu) crash due to lost NFS connection to the albums, or
lost database connection, I don't remember which it was. I got
a pop-up notification that it had crashed, with an option to
leave closed or restart. I left it closed.<br>
<br>
That evening I saw a KDE warning that my /home partition was at
100%. I found the .xsession-errors file in my home directory
had grown to 414GB. I also discovered a running process of
Digikam, using 100% of a single CPU core. I killed the process,
and removed the .xsession-errors file, but the disk space was
not reclaimed, possibly due to a stale open file handle
somewhere. I had to reboot to recover the disk space.<br>
<br>
I was unable to capture the error messages in the
.xsession-errors file, but I recall that it was completely
filled with something related to "invalid socket" and the word
"exiting". My recollection may not be accurate to be useful. I
realize I'm running an older version of Digikam, but wanted to
bring up the situation in case it could also happen with 8.4.<br>
<br>
Thanks for a great photo management application.<br>
<br>
