But the file does not contain any new stuff.

I made some tests now, and something is really bogus. Since I have no calendar - except 
the birthdays - I've added a two new ICAL calendars, one file and one directory based. 
Both calendars do not have created anything on disk at the defined locations. The file 
based calendar does not even show the given name but "akonadi_ical_resource_4", the 
internal name. Even if I add a date in each calendar, nothing happens on disk.

Now I stop akonadi over CLI and Kontact restarts it again. Suddenly I have an additional 
calendar. The calendar properties reveal that this is a file based calendar with the same .ics 
file than my "akonadi_ical_resource_4", but this time with the name I had given the 
calendar originally. And now I have actually this isc file on my disk, but it is empty:

*~/tmp/mem $* cat myfile.ics  
 new calendar does not have the date that is contained in the calendar 
"akonadi_ical_resource_4" although both calendars claim to use the same file.

Even if I do an fsck and restart akonadi now, the situation does not change although it 
reports that the akonadi_ical_resource_4 and akonadi_icaldir_resource_4 have no RID. And 
the messages for fsck are the same running it a second time.

Now I open akonadconsole and select the "Clear akonadi cache" from the context menu 
of the icaldir resource and the resource "akonadi_ical_resource_4". With the next restart of 
akonadi, the dates of those two calendar are gone.

And if I delete one of the ical file-based calendars in korganizer, the other one will be 
deleted also.

It seems, the only way to restore my dates is to restore the DB and export all the dates :-/

Regards,
Jörg
