Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-hackers@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk I'm using INN1.4sec with the unofficial patches from psu (level 2). On a FreebSD 2.1-stable box. 32MB RAM, 20GB disk. I am constantly getting errors from INN about symlinking articles, specifically that when INN goes to write a file, the file it thinks it can write to already exists. Thinking that something got whacked in the filesystem/history files I removed all files from the file system, and then restarted INN. Within a few hours, I started getting the error again that some inconsistency has happened. This problem has cropped up in about the last month, and nothing I do seems to fix it. I've rebuilt and re-installed the INN software, I've rebuilt the history and active files a kazillion times, and nothing seems to work. I'm wondering if there's a problem in the MMAP stuff (which is something that I couldn't use under BSD/OS, which this box is a convert from), or maybe the dbz routines... Any idea appreciated, I'd hate to have to punt back to BSD/OS.
