I've seen this happen under a different platform. I had a SUN Sparc 5 running SUN/OS 4.1.3_U1 with, at the time, inn 1.4sec. I never found the precise cause of the problem, but, was able to resolve it by rebuilding the history from scratch. It appeared that the history file had become corrupted. Expire was spending too much time processing garbage, rather than actually getting its job done. Hope this is of help. ______________________________________________________________________________ Ken Stox ICBMnet: 41:48:8N 88:3:26W Imaginary Landscape, LLC. email: stox@mcs.net "Hand Woven Web Sites" MaBellNet: (708) 969-8109 ______________________________________________________________________________ On Tue, 18 Jun 1996, Heiko Blume wrote: > Date: Tue, 18 Jun 1996 21:10:16 +0200 > From: Heiko Blume <src@NS.Contrib.Com> > To: stable@FreeBSD.ORG > Subject: expire takes forever > > mhh, > > any reason why my expire might take 24 hours to build > just 34MB of history.n ? the old history is 187MB > and i didn't have any problems like this before. > i think it took around one hour in the past. > > > i supped and made world last week, might that be > related ? > > i have a 4gig DEC and 3 2gig barracudas as a ccd > and an ibm just for history and newslib. i get > around 120000 articles a day just fine. > > mumble, mumble,.... > > hb >
