| guiverc | Can someone please tell me which file/dir is the control directory "brz: ERROR: A control directory already exists: ..." (i accidently wiped overwrote a file-system with errant `dd`, and data is restored but maybe missing some .files) | 04:41 |
|---|---|---|
| CcxWrk | guiverc: I'd probably just strace -fe trace file and see where it breaks. What are you trying to do? | 10:29 |
| guiverc | Thanks for reply CcxWrk, sorry I haven't time currently & got stuff to do before bed.. another night.. (I overwrote a server array with a stupid `dd` of ISO so I'm trying to get `bzr status` to complete my [Lubuntu] QA testcases (https://answers.launchpad.net/bzr/+question/688323 was question I raised) | 12:12 |
| CcxWrk | So this is a data rescue operation? | 12:13 |
| guiverc | Not really, i have all data (excluding .files) I believe; also being testcases nothing really critical.. but my not saving .files meant I think the data restore didn't make bzr happy | 12:15 |
| guiverc | .files meaning anything starting with .(period) | 12:16 |
| CcxWrk | Got it. Yeah, run strace -fe trace=file bzr yourcommand and nuke whatever it crashes on. | 12:22 |
| CcxWrk | That's the best thing I can think of without grepping bzr sources anyway. | 12:24 |
| guiverc | Thanks CcxWrk , I'll likely try this tomorrow :) Greatly appreciate the help, so thank you. | 12:31 |
| jelmer | the control directory is ".bzr" | 17:52 |
