scavenge

[Kloxo-DR]

Hi,

I have placed my messages regarding scavange. However, I do not know if the problem you describe is somehow related to the problem I have placed in the other thread regarding scavange.

The maillog stops after scavange. As you describe, there must be some bug somewhere.

I have found a solution to my problem, which is related to maillog stopping after scavange.

May be yoou could see if you also have something like this on your servers and confirm, as well as  my solution for your server on maillogging.

It doesn't appear any logging is being shut down after scavenge.

Still waiting to see if anyone who runs 'sh /script/scavenge' does it complete or does it hang?

Hi Christopher,

I am using 6.5.0f.

I suspect that you are using 6.5.1, right? Could that be a difference why you have the scavange  stop maillog i.e. rsyslogd, but have different bugs, than my problem?

Hi All,

I have the same trouble, anybody did find solution ?

Any suggestion ?

Seems like this happens because large drives. "It's not a bug, it's a feature". If you don't mind, you can try with nohup to detach from console upon completion, and if you're using fixtraffic with cron, I recommend to not run atleast for an hour or so, or even by several hours if you're using huge (ie. 1TB+) filesystems.

Hope we can find any better solution to scavenge disk quota in the future.
