vgit on x86_64 error: file changed before we could read it

[fausap]

Hello,

I used successfully visit several times, but now when I try to commit I receive this error:

Code: Select all

$ vgit add .
Bad news:
 file changed before we could read it [30]

The volume where the code exists is an ODS-5 volume

Code: Select all

Volume Status:  ODS-5, subject to mount verification, protected subsystems
      enabled, file high-water marking, write-through XFC caching enabled,
      write-through XQP caching enabled, hard links enabled, special files
      enabled.

Any idea why this sudden error?

thanks a lot!

I've never seen this error. Can you give some more information, which files, directories, etc. are involved?

I would use the the status command to see which files will be committed.. I would use the -s or -v with the add command, expecting it to show which file is causing this error.

Also, you indicated that it worked before. So the usual question is, what changed, what is different?

There are only 5 files in the directory and no subdirectories. There are some binary files, could a specific record format create such issues?

I can only guess. I would make sure that all text files have "Record format: Stream_LF". What record format do the binary files have?

For anyone stumbling on this in the future - something caused my .gitignore files to no longer be stream-LF. converting them back to stream-LF resolved this issue for me.
