From ccb7a71dcea071c7fd68192909c4e54561c88043 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jiri Olsa Date: Sun, 24 Feb 2019 20:06:43 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] perf data: Fail check_backup in case of error And display the error message from removing the old data file: $ perf record ls Can't remove old data: Permission denied (perf.data.old) Perf session creation failed. $ perf record ls Can't remove old data: Unknown file found (perf.data.old) Perf session creation failed. Not sure how to make fail the rename (after we successfully remove the destination file/dir) to show the message, anyway let's have it there.
