Subject: [PATCH] Fstab xattrs: This update ensures that fstab xattrs are correctly updated without adding a lock to the database.
Date: Sun, 19 Oct 2025 16:39:18 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251019153922.27208-2-dani.barra25@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251019153922.27208-1-dani.barra25@gmail.com>
From: Daniel Andrade <dani.barra25@gmail.com>
The process of repairing the database using -B flag of pseudo sometimes causes errors because the database lock file is present.
Therefore, to fix it, first we ensure that any connection to files.db is closed using pseudo flag -S followed by the actual command to
repair it after fstab was successfully updated.
