Hi! A few days ago, I switched our main news machine from 1.4.unoff4 to 1.5.1 (straight from the -stable ports). I'm noticing lots of errlog-entries like Apr 21 03:19:22 birdland innd: SERVER cant symlink /var/news/soc/women/161436 and alt/women/attitudes/7462 File exists Apr 21 03:25:04 birdland innd: SERVER cant symlink /var/news/microsoft/public/frontpage/client/24917 and microsoft/public/frontpage/extensions/windowsnt/2041 File exists Apr 21 03:30:17 birdland innd: SERVER cant symlink /var/news/alt/slack/106031 and alt/fan/tito/2127 File exists Apr 21 03:32:22 birdland innd: SERVER cant symlink /var/news/comp/security/unix/32208 and comp/unix/admin/43142 File exists Apr 21 03:35:35 birdland innd: SERVER cant symlink /var/news/aus/computers/mac/14873 and alt/sys/mac/newuser-help/2172 File exists Apr 21 03:35:48 birdland innd: SERVER cant symlink /var/news/aus/flame/46620 and alt/usa-sucks/4356 File exists Apr 21 03:56:16 birdland innd: SERVER cant symlink /var/news/rec/arts/movies/lists+surveys/14335 and alt/tv/seinfeld/50914 File exists Apr 21 03:59:13 birdland innd: SERVER cant symlink /var/news/misc/entrepreneurs/248478 and market/internet/free/14806 File exists Apr 21 03:59:13 birdland innd: SERVER throttle File exists writing symlinking article file -- throttling Apr 21 03:59:13 birdland innd: SERVER cant write history <5jdm5g$k1o@bolivia.earthlink.net> Cross-device link Our newsspool spans several file systems, they are all linked via symlinks to /var/news (like /var/news/rec -> /disk3/var.news.rec). I'm running 2.1.7.1 and just exhausted my pool of ideas... makehistory -bunv runs regularly (about once per month), the permissions seem to be all right. Any ideas?
