Code Review Request: 7186555: (prefs) continual printing of BackingStoreException on console on Linux (original) (raw)

Any chance that it would be possible to stop the periodic attempts to sync preferences?

The log spamming is a symptom, not the cause.

Could the prefs code be enhanced to better determine if writing is possible before attempting and failing?

Hi, Please review this change to fix 718655. The bug complaints about continuous BackingStoreExceptions printed on the console, the user is just seeing logged warnings from BackingStoreExceptions raised in periodic attempts to sync preferences. Preferences use sun.util.logging.PlatformLogger.java which is enabled by default, and has a default level of INFO. Changing the logging in this file to FINE prevents the user from seeing information that he/she is not interested in. Bug: http://bugs.sun.com/viewbug.do?bugid=7186555 Webrev:http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~khazra/7186555/webrev.00/ Looks good and L116 emits a INFO log message that should be changed to FINE too. Mandy
