Bang get stucked as <defunct> after one of the jobs failed to create symlinks #371

Closed chimelab closed 3 months ago

This happens when I'm using a windows share folder as the unpack path. Bang stucked when it tries to create a symlink, as symlink is not supported by Windows. It seems like all threads are in barrier waiting.

Other exceptions can cause the same issue. Without "-j' parameter, Bang works well and can properly handle exceptions.

Thanks for the report. I am not so sure how to tackle this apart from "don't write to a Windows share". Let me think about it. In the meantime I will add a warning to the documentation.

The problem can be reproduced: 1, a folder on a ntfs disk to extract to; 2, symbol links to create; 3, jobs > 1 Since it won't happen on EXT disks, we can close this issue.
