This morning in my spool folder, I noticed the following files:
-r--r----- 1 dean mail 0 Dec 1 02:28
dean.18998.1070274490.devious
-r--r----- 1 dean mail 0 Dec 1 02:28
dean.18998.1070274492.devious
-r--r----- 1 dean mail 0 Dec 1 02:28
dean.18998.1070274494.devious
-r--r----- 1 dean mail 0 Dec 1 02:28
dean.18998.1070274496.devious
The syslog contains:
Dec 1 02:28:10 devious tpop3d[18998]: dotfile_lock(/var/mail/dean):
unable to write PID to hitching post: No space left on device
Dec 1 02:28:16 devious last message repeated 3 times
Dec 1 02:28:18 devious tpop3d[18998]: mailspool_new_from_file: failed
to lock /var/mail/dean: No space left on device
Dec 1 02:28:18 devious tpop3d[18998]: dotfile_unlock(/var/mail/dean):
open: No such file or directory
As far as I can tell, /var has not run out of space at any point during
the night (not unless 4GB of data mysteriously appeared and disappeared
in the space of 5 minutes), and I can't see any reason why I might have
run out of file descriptors (which is the only other thing I've seen
cause the 'no space left on device' errors in the past).
The user 'dean' has subsequently had no problems checking his mail, and
there have been no further errors in the log, so I'm not too worried,
but I'm interested if anyone knows what may have caused this.
I'm running tpop3d 1.5.2, configured as follows:
./configure --enable-auth-passwd --disable-auth-pam
--enable-shadow-passwords --enable-mbox-bsd --enable-tls
Ideas?
Cheers,
James
