Server crashes because of an empty file

by cosarara97 » Wed May 30, 2012 16:09

minetestserver crashes when starting if it finds an empty file in players directory. I think it'd be better if it told you and removed it instead of just complaining and stopping. I'd write a patch myself, but I find C++ very confusig :S
:D

My two cents...

From my experience , this issue occurs (empty player inventory file) when the server can't write (persist) to a full storage (no space left)

And you're right , if you don't have backup of these files , the best you can do is (after fix storage free space of course :) ) to remove these files and restart the minetestserver

It's nice to be important but it is more important to be nice.
