Re: [PATCH] Windows rename failures
After a bunch more heavy stressing, this patch does not completely fix
the MoveFileEx 'Access Denied' errors. I've finally put it in a retry
loop, but depending on the machine I'm on it will sometimes retry up to
15 or 20 times before going through. Fun.
I spent another chunk of time on the repro program last night and still
can't repro it. I'll probably try just using apr next and see what
happens, when I have more time, but for now I'm just throwing up my
hands and putting a big sledgehammer loop in my working copy.
Anyway, just thought I'd let folks know that the patch doesn't really
fix the problem.

Yeah, exactly (I was being sarcastic). I just plugged in 100 retries so
I can at least continue to work with some reliability, but I can't see
any real solution for this aside from MS fixing it...and I doubt that
will happen until a smallish repro is found.

Uh, no, not fun. What if the permissions really don't allow moving the
file (e.g., because of a bug)? Bang -- instant freeze.

I managed to reproduce this in the Explorer -- on a volume that's full
of CD images. I was moving them around between directories, and got
'Access Denied' a few times. Retrying the move worked. Now *that's* what
I call fun. :-\
