Description Stephan Born

Hi,

I started a new build in build configuration https://hudson.eclipse.org/hudson/job/stardust-7-nightly. The build had number 186 and was running over an hour. When I wanted to refresh after I had to login again to https://hudson.eclipse.org/hudson the build was no longer available. But: on console at build.eclipse.org I can see the build's folder:

sborn@build:/shared/jobs/stardust-7-nightly/builds/186> ll
total 2356
-rw-r--r-- 1 hudsonBuild callisto-dev       6 2013-03-15 10:02 changelog.xml
-rw-r--r-- 1 hudsonBuild callisto-dev 2403024 2013-03-15 11:16 log

Doing tail -f log shows that the build is no longer running as no progress can be seen.

In the meantime I started the build once again, Build # 187 which can be seen in browser and console.

I set Severity to critical as "loosing" builds is something I want to understand as we rely on the build system to provide build when these are requested.

Regards,
Stephan

I've been through the Hudson logs, but I don't see anything.  I'll do some more digging and see if anything turns up.  You may want to include the Hudson team as they may have some insight.

-M.

Actually, look closely at the filesystem -- your builds are owned by "hudsonBuild" with rw permissions.  This means anyone with a build job could erase anything anywhere (accidentally or otherwise) and we don't have much in terms of accountability or traceability.

HIPP (bug 403843) will definitely solve this problem.  Closing WONTFIX.
