2802	startup failures non-obvious	meejah	daira	"If you start up a node with a magic-folder and for some reason the shared-folder can't be accessed you'll get a long exception in `logs/twistd.log` ending with `allmydata.mutable.common.UnrecoverableFileError: no recoverable versions`.

However, the node keeps running but will not do any magic-folder ""stuff"" any more. No matter what, the error printed to the log should be something suitable for a user (e.g. ""can't access magic-folder directory X"" or so).

We should either:

- kill the entire node if this happens
- keep re-trying (and re-logging the error)

I have seen this occasionally when running `check_magicfolder_smoke.py` tests but am unsure how to reliably repeat it. The obvious thing of turning off all the storage servers and re-starting the Alice (or Bob) client doesn't appear to be sufficient."	defect	closed	normal	undecided	code-frontend-magic-folder	1.11.0	somebody else's problem
