strange problem with multiple "trashed" folders

I noticed a very strange thing happening on my ezp site...

In the storage/images folder a lot of recursive trashed folders are created, for example:

var/sitename/storage/images/.../37867-25-cro-HR/trashed/trashed/trashed/trashed/trashed/trashed

When I took a look at the content of these folder I notice another strange thing. All files in the folder have the same size and the sum of their sizes doesn't match the disk usage reported for this folder. For example I have 28 files all with 512K size (which total to 14 MB) but disk usage reported for this folder is only 512K.

It seems like all of the 28 files are just hard links to the same file.

This problem is not specific for my site, because I found a similar problem on issues:

http://issues.ez.no/IssueView.php?Id=16823

It's not the very same problem, because my site is not on a clustered ezp installation, but the pattern with repeated "trashed" folders is the same.

Also, the problem doesn't occur for only one object, it happens for many different objects.

So any clue why does this happen?

Is it a bug?

Update...

This 28 files are hard links to the same file, and there are total 7009 hard links to this file.

This is definitely not normal...

I think I nailed it, it's a bug:

http://issues.ez.no/IssueView.php?Id=17781&activeItem=1

Can someone confirm it?

Will it be fixed in the 4.5 community release?

Any chance that we'll also get a sanitizer script that will clean up all redundant "trashed" folders and images?

The fix should be committed very soon.

About the sanitizer script, I need more information like your current situation (Are your objects still in the trash ?) and the situation you want to get back to.

Please add comments inside the issue :).

Thanks !

A commit has been added to the community as mentioned in the issue.

I have further asked in the "issue" about the sanitiser, or at least the cleaner.

For those who are curious to see if they suffer from this problem.

Jump into your storage for your sites and do the following commands.

# This one lists all images with a trashed folder.
find . -type f -wholename '*trashed*' | wc -l

# This one lists all images with more two or more trashed folders.
find . -type f -wholename '*trashed/trashed*' | wc -l

 

I have asked if it is expected behaviour to have nested trashed folders.

 

Has anyone tried just deleting all folders with "trashed/trashed/"? and then doing a similiar command to the "ezimagefile" table to remove rows with filepath having "trashed/trashed/?

Is this dangerous :)

The sanitizer script can be found in:

Thanks for your patience!
