I have been running INN 1.7.2 (the prepatched version inn-1.7.2.insync-1.1d). It had been running fine. The kernel is 2.2.5, running on a PII-300 with two adaptec UW controllers, using ccd0 for the news spool (multiple UW disks). The problem I am seeing is that for the last couple of days, the nightly expiration run is not completing. When I log in to the server and do 'ps axl', I see the primary expire process in state 'D', with wchan 'getblk'. This is during the building of the expire.rm file (the list of files to expire). It is not totally hung, since this file does grow (albeit glacially slowly). I can kill the process, and everything then finishes up fairly quickly. What is weird is that if I then re-run the expiration script manually, everything seems to work okay. Any ideas? --- Swartzendruber Consulting, Inc.
