Rednotebook on Linux Mint 20.2 x64 destroys its files

[vpereguda]

Describe the bug From time to time Rednotebook says in console at startup: "File xxxxx could not be read". when I go to the file, I see its size is equal to zero and the file is indeed empty - however before it was a normal Rednotebook's file. After deleting the file, Rednotebook starts normally, but the content of the file is lost for sure.

This bug appears periodically, not always, so I don't now how to reproduce it.

Plz note that Rednotebook's directory ../data is kept not in my home dir but on another fault-tolerant drive, so from my /home/.. directory there is a symlink to the data folder.

Versions:

• RedNotebook version 2.22
• Operating system and version: Linux Mint 20.2 x64.
