Confirmed. The error message is wrong. It is printed after a short read(), but short read() does not
set errno, and errno reported by the error message is from some previous syscall. Corrected error
message is already committed. K.O.

|
I believe the original "hide run start / stop" was added specifically for ND280 GSC MIDAS. I do not know
why it was removed. "hide pause / resume" is still there. I will restore them. Hiding logger channel
section should probably be automatic of there is no /logger/channels, I can check if it works and what

both the xml and the json decoders have a bug (fix pending). loading saved odb
from xml and json file did not truncate arrays in odb to the size of arrays in
the file. for example, if /example/double_array has size 20 in odb, but size 5

We are very happy with the "FILE" implementation of MIDAS history and it is time
to make it the default for new experiments. This history driver works best if
"per variable" history is alos enabled. (SQL history already only works in "per-

> I am setting up Midas (v2.1) for a new experiment. We want to save the data in the ROOT format. We installed ROOT from source (v6.28/06), and ROOTSYS

Stefan is right. I forgot this. As solution to our troubles, mlogger is built without root support. use rmlogger instead.

28 Jan 2024, Konstantin Olchanski, Forum, number of entries in a given ODB subdirectory ?
|
Very good question. It exposes a very nasty problem, the race condition between "ls" and "rm". While you are
looping over directory entries, somebody else is completely permitted to remove one of the files (or add more
files), making the output of "ls" incorrect (contains non-existant/removed files, does not contain newly added
