Yup. Sure did.
I restarted the makehistory - this time using an example listed in
the man page: "makehistory -e -O -F -l 30000"
I get TONS of these:
makehistory: Can't write overview data
"@03045349580000000000002FB91800000002@"
makehistory: Can't write overview data
"@03045349580000000000002FC0E500000002@"
(I got 42739 of these before I aborted the makehistory).
So, any idea what could be causing this? The disk has plenty
of space (and available inodes):
sh-2.05$ pwd
/export/usr1/news/overview
sh-2.05$ du -sk .

Thanks.
