            Bug ID: 333239
           Summary: akonadi refuses to start after disk was full
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: Akonadi
           Version: 4.12
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: kde-bugs at cboltz.de

My disk ran full while akonadi and kmail were running.

The symptoms I noticed were that kmail wasn't able to display mail content
anymore - I'd guess because it tried to write them to a tempfile on the full
disk first.

After freeing some disk space again, akonadi refuses to start.

The debug output shows that it tries to start a mysql instance (which fails),
however I had it configured to use the system-wide mysql. 

In other words: akonadi destroyed its config file when the disk was full!

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start akonadi and kmail, ideally with akonadi configured to use the
system-wide mysql
2. let another process fill up your disk (if you don't have a better idea, dd
if=/dev/zero of=~/fill-my-disk)
3. quit kmail and akonadi
4. (try to) restart akonadi


Expected Results:  
The config file should not be destroyed when the disk is full.
