Comment 2 for bug 449461

I wish there was a 'can't fix' status. From the detailed log analysis that was done, it looks like the syncdaemon did exactly the right thing - the file was zero bytes when the machine started back up, and it happily truncated the file on the server.

Given that there are situations like this where software corrupts files, or people delete files by mistake, I think this bug emphasizes the importance for Ubuntu One to have a file history and undelete feature on our servers. It will take a bit of a design, but I'll be advocating that we assign engineers to work on developing this history feature for Lucid.

Alan, thanks for your gracious assistance on IRC as we investigated this bug, and I'm very sorry you lost data. I'm closing the bug as wontfix as I don't think there is any further action we can take on this specific bug report.
