Re: [Question #172845]: how to find corrupt whisper file?

 

There's no automated way to find it.

I usually use

find /opt/graphite/storage/whisper -print -name '*.wsp' -type f -exec
whisper-info.py {} \; | less

Then look for the files that failed.
I usually get corrupt .wsp files when I try to create new metrics when the
disk is full...
