Description of problem: Exceeded quota is not reported Steps to Reproduce: 1. MaxCrashReportsSize = 1 set in /etc/abrt/abrt.conf 2. Executed libreoffice writer 3. pkill -SIGSEGV swriter Actual results: Old bugs are removed, but exceeded quota is not reported Expected results: Exceeded quota will be reported.
I tend to leave current behavior as-is. The code which is responsible for trimming old dump directories runs in hooks, in particular, in coredump hook. Coredump hook is spawned by kernel. Any problem in coredump hook has a potential of creating a crash loop. I hesitate to add dbus libraries and code to emit dbus signals to coredump hook. If you feel strongly about it, please describe your rationale why trimming of old dumps *has to be* reported to the user.
The main reason is that it was part of the test case https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_ABRT_quota and therefore I expected to be by your specifications. And of course it would be nice to be at least notified that something is going to be deleted. That is probably problem mainly because there is not clear ABRT workflow, i.e. the bug report lifetime. But that is probably different topic.
This is caused by "silent" pruning of spool directory in ccpp hook. It prunes directory with treshold set to MaxCrashReportsSize * 1.25 to avoid stepping on abrtd's pruning (that one is done with unmodified MaxCrashReportsSize). But if MaxCrashReportsSize is 1, then MaxCrashReportsSize * 1.25 is also 1. The fix I committed uses (MaxCrashReportsSize * 1.25 | 63). That is, the limit is always at least 63 megabytes. Fixed in git: commit c20d967744f1dbbc7d747d8f5d50886f3aefe2bd Author: Denys Vlasenko <dvlasenk> Date: Sun Jul 17 11:46:45 2011 +0200 abrt-server/ccpp_hook: enlarge spool dir pruning threshold.
