With vfs.ioopt=1 (the new default), actived (part of INN + insync patches) dies pretty fast complaining of active's format. Actived is reading periodically the active file in a buffer and with ioopt enabled, the read() just read... nothing. Thus the in-memory copy of active is junk and actived dies.
