Jenkins server running on Windows XP with slaves on XP, 7, and RHEL 5.
For the third time this week, when I arrived at work today Jenkins had lost all of our build history. (This also happened one other time a couple weeks ago right after I upgraded to 1.558). There are no builds saved on disk on the master machine, and every job shows no builds. When they get launched, they start from the proper number (#700 in one case) - but all existing history is gone.
The logs are confusing. I have two logs from January, and the rest of the logs are filled with the following-
May 14, 2014 2:29:37 AM jenkins.model.lazy.AbstractLazyLoadRunMap search
WARNING: JENKINS-15652 Assertion error #1: failing to load C:\Jenkins\workspace\builds\REUSE_Unit_Tests\CONFIG=ut_intPPCSim, TEST=Aes_UT, label=LOCAL
#350 EXACT: lo=1,hi=0,size=1,size2=1

#351 DESC: lo=1,hi=0,size=1,size2=1
Those two warnings are just repeated over and over for each job- filling 8 log files in the space of a couple minutes. I have no other clues to go off of, but I need to figure out what is going on here.
[JENKINS-23067] Jenkins losing build history
Paul Becotte
added a comment - Yes, I have other project types that were affected. It was not 100% universal- some of the other jobs kept one or two builds in history (out of many), but the matrix jobs and the jobs related to them (upstream) lost everything.
I went ahead and upgraded to the new version of Jenkins and the matrix plugin. The history was completely gone again this morning with 1.563 Jenkins and 1.2 Matrix plugin.
I realized that my builds and workspace directory for the masters config.xml were set to non-standard locations. I changed them to match my other Jenkins server and am hoping that this may clear up the issue.

There've been issues with these options in the past (e.g. build dir not renamed when project is renamed).

added a comment - Since I changed the storage location back to the standard location, this has not happened again. I believe you could tentatively close this for now, and I will come back if the problem does happen again.

added a comment - Changed storage location of the "builds" directory to the default. Have not seen the issue since.

Do you still know the values you entered for workspace + builds dir in the global Jenkins config? I'm currently working on improving their input validation, it's far too easy to enter really wrong values (JENKINS-14583).
These are matrix (multi-config) projects, right? Do you have other project types as well? Are they affected? What's the version of the Matrix Project plugin you have installed? If possible, please update the plugin.
