Bug#626061: Additional info from a concerned 3rd party

[Erik Auerswald <auerswald@fg-networking.de>]

Hi,

just a few data points:

- In use at schools, iceweasel (and OpenOffice) "crash" often enough that
  automatic lock removal during off-hours is usually implemented.

- The tendency for iceweasel to have unaccessible bookmarks and history
  after a "crash" is quite new, on older systems iceweasel just refuses to
  start.

- The same problems happen on local disk as well, but using NFS makes the
  problems much more likely to occur and complicates the problem space
  (file locks on server).

- For SQLite locking vs. NFS see http://www.sqlite.org/faq.html#q5
  "But use caution: this locking mechanism might not work correctly if
   the database file is kept on an NFS filesystem."

Regards,
Erik
