Beets froze during import and now library contains just 1 album

[zeltak]

Problem

ive been using beets for a few years now but last week started to have issue so decided to start from scratch. i remimported all library with beets -A and that worked well.today i added another album (beet import /path/to/nas/album/ and it seemed to just hang i killed the terminal after a few minutes and ever since then beet ls shows only 1 album in the beets DB. the db itself still shows 35mb

Running this command in verbose (-vv) mode:

That's odd. Can you reproduce the problem? For example, does importing another album also hang, and also clobber your database again?

[zeltak]

Thx for the reply. I tried importing another album and it worked and now beet ls shows 2 albums in the collection. What does clobber means?

Thx

Z

[sampsyo]

Hmm, OK—so no luck in reproducing the problem? Is there anything we should try to investigate?

Clobber: destroy, corrupt, delete.
