I’ve noticed that Advogato has been suffering from the same mysterious, random file loss problem that hit robots.net a while back. As best I can tell this is due to a race condition in the “out of disk space” patch. My problems ended once I reverted the patch in my mod_virgule codebase. On the upside, though, maybe this will prompt a line or two of new code for the official mod_virgule in 2005.
