current shell's bash history lost on reboot
The other day during the Atomic Test Day jzb and I noticed that we
were losing bash history (seemingly randomly). Today I dug into it a
bit more. If you reboot a machine from a bash session then you will
lose all of your history for that session. Note the following is from
the F21 Cloud image:
[root@f21 ~]# cat .bash_history | wc -l
2
[root@f21 ~]# history | wc -l
123
[root@f21 ~]# reboot
