------------------------------+-----------------------
This happened several time to me, sometimes I boot Haiku and I find Vision
has reverted to its default settings. Looking at the settings I see this:
{{{
~> message /boot/home/config/settings/Vision/VisionSettings
BMessage(0x0) {
replicant_path[0] = string("/boot/system/apps/NetworkStatus", 32
bytes)
replicant_path[1] = string("/boot/system/apps/PowerStatus", 30
bytes)
replicant_path[2] = string("/boot/system/apps/ProcessController",
36 bytes)
}
failed to unflatten message: Data is not a message
}}}
Opening the file with DiskProbe, I see that towards the end there are
still some settings from Vision, but apparently the start of the file is
overwritten with unrelated data from another file. Checkfs does not see
anything wrong with the partition.
Sorry I cannot attach the file, it contains my nickserv passwords.
Filing the ticket under BFS, but since there is no on-disk corruption I
suspect the issue may be in some higher layer in the VFS maybe? resulting
in two file descriptors being mixed up and the data being written to the
wrong file?
