What does this mean "FIFO file found ..."

[davidducos]

We changed the way that we work with compressed (and other external command executions).
We use FIFO files to send to the other process to compress (or any execution).
There are scenarios where the FIFO files are left from a previous execution, so, when we execute myloader a second time, we need to delete them before created again.

Thanks for the explanation @davidducos. That makes sense and sounds like it's nothing to be concerned about. I suspect I ctrl-z'd out of a previous myloader session some time back. Is there a preferred way to kill the process which leaves things in a clean state?

Hi @billynoah you can use --fifodir to avoid using the backup dir, but I don't remember if we are wiping out that directory before using it. We might need to add some --clear option like --clear-fifodir to avoid seeing those messages on the log.
