buffindex

[Gunther Nitzsche]

Hi,

strange things happen on my newsreader...
INN 2.3.3 (20020213 prerelease) with buffindexed overview

Seems like overview is corrupt, since some groups are no
longer readable.

my buffindexed.conf:
0:/usr/local/news/spool/overview/c1t1d0s0:2090000
1:/usr/local/news/spool/overview/c1t1d0s1:2090000
2:/usr/local/news/spool/overview/c1t1d0s3:2090000
3:/usr/local/news/spool/overview/c1t1d0s4:2090000

# cd spool/overview/
# ls -la
total 4
drwxr-xr-x   2 news     news         512 Feb 14 15:50 .
drwxr-xr-x   8 news     news         512 Mar 28 03:05 ..
brw-r--r--   1 news     news     118,  0 Mar 28 16:01 c1t1d0s0
brw-r--r--   1 news     news     118,  1 Mar 28 16:01 c1t1d0s1
brw-r--r--   1 news     news     118,  3 Mar 28 16:01 c1t1d0s3
brw-r--r--   1 news     news     118,  4 Mar 28 16:01 c1t1d0s4

While inndf -o shows:
49 % overview space used

So there SHOULD be enough room, BUT:

the file news.err gets filled up with:

Mar 28 03:09:56 newsreader2 overchan[9880]: [ID 499406 news.error]

any hints, what to do?

best greetings,
