what is EBUSY? #8123

Closed ThomasWaldmann closed 4 months ago

ThomasWaldmann commented 4 months ago

In #126, there was a mention of EBUSY.

Not familiar with this, when exactly can a file be "busy"?

Is this a platform specific thing?

How to deal with this for backup source files?

EBUSY Device or resource busy (POSIX.1-2001) https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/V2_chap02.html#tag_15_03

[EBUSY] Resource busy. An attempt was made to make use of a system resource that is not currently available, as it is being used by another process in a manner that would have conflicted with the request being made by this process.

Macro: int EBUSY “Device or resource busy.” A system resource that can’t be shared is already in use. For example, if you try to delete a file that is the root of a currently mounted filesystem, you get this error.
