Here I am about to begin turning mail services here over to FBSD and Popper et al. (from NT with IMS - a really great mail server whose mail flaw is running on NT ;-) and you send me word of th "David Rivers Daily Memorial Panic"??? Is this phenomenon associated with any particular set of conditions which I can avoid? This is *very* serious from my perspective: let's face it Email is the *one* thing that will fire up an otherwise brain-dead user to action! I certainly don't need 5000 daily complaints from angry users and frustrated bosses :) Should I be sticking with our NT mail servers for now? Thanks, J.A. Terranson sysadmin@mfn.org > Recently,some of our Server always down due to the FFS error. > the situation can be describe below: Al - I believe you'll find similar situations in the FreeBSD mail archives. Look for "daily panic", and the "Dave Rivers memorial panic" in the freebsd-hackers mail archive. But, there is some good news. People have reported that the problem appears to have gone away in version 3.0 (likely as a good side-effect of other changes.) You might want to try using 3.0 on your server.
