I confirm the bug reported by Bas. My configurations are however different.
gnucash-2.2.1 running under Ubuntu-7.10 Gutsy which is running under coLinux-0.73.1 on a Windows XP SP3 host My main files are on the NTFS partition on a local drive under Windows. mounted as cofs3 from coLinux 1. When I opened the file, I got a warning that there was a lock. 2. However, there was no lock, so I continued opening. 3. I modified the data and saved the files. 4. When I tried reopening, I got the error that the file does not exist. 5. I checked the NTFS filesystem, and indeed the file was not there. 6. The funny thing is that none of the undelete utilities reported deletion of the file. I wonder what mechanism was used by gnucash to delete the file. I lost 6 months of work. Now, to setup an automatic backup utility! Warm Regards Sanjay
