Fixed In Version: qpid-cpp-0.32-1
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
It was discovered that symlink creation failed if the specified linearstore `store-dir` path was not absolute. The `store-dir` parameter should never have been specified as a relative path, however the issue was benign for some time in both linearstore and legacystore due to the lack of symlink support in journal directories (introduced as part of https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1160367[BZ#1160367]. The fix for this bug now adds a prefixed `/` to the store-dir parameter if the path is not specified as absolute.
