Hi all,
I'd like to suggest something very important.
*DO NOT LEAK MEMORY* !
I was victim for a quick memory-leak, and because Mail.app couldn't
allocate memory for its preferences (that it keeps reading and writing
all the time), I lost..
1: All my email account settings
2: A bunch of mailboxes (one for an entire email account, yep!)
3: Preferences in Finder (as usual!)
4: Some iTunes preferences
5: Who knows?
If you want to avoid problems, try always keeping 50% of your disk free.
Finder said that 1.8GB of the disk was free, but SSH'ing from another
machine into the machine that it happened with, df told me something
different; 100% was used, very few blocks were free.
I don't even know what to say in the bug-report yet...
-Some of you may know it already, but the rest, I'd like to say that
it's a serious problem, and when you see the alert telling you to close
applications, it may already be too late!
May it never happen to you!
Love,
Jens
