how to fix 'multiple versions are recoverable'?

Description (last modified by daira)

I have a couple of directories that are

Not Healthy! : Unhealthy: multiple versions are recoverable

  • Report:

Recoverable Versions: 6*seq24-wgxp/10*seq26-4tdb Unhealthy: there are multiple recoverable versions Best Recoverable Version: seq26-4tdb

I can't see how to fix this. A deep check with the repair checkbox leaves the directories in the same state.

A simple check with the repair checkbox shows me the versions available, but I didn't see how to fix the directory.

  • Milestone changed from undecided to 1.8.0

It's really bothering me that mutable file upload and download behavior is so finicky, buggy, inefficient, hard to understand, different from immutable file upload and download behavior, etc. So I'm putting a bunch of tickets into the "1.8" Milestone. I am not, however, at this time, volunteering to work on these tickets, so it might be a mistake to put them into the 1.8 Milestone, but I really hope that someone else will volunteer or that I will decide to do it myself. :-)

Proposed behaviour: mutable repair should delete (by setting the container to zero length) shares of previous versions, after confirming that the current version meets the happiness threshold. See also #614, #1057 and #2060.

Sounds good to me!

Replying to PRabahy:

I think that is probably a different bug -- filed as #2109.
