unarchive 263514 reopen 263514 ! severity 263514 important thanks
[Paul, I CCed you, as you're the original author of Gnus' nnmaildir backend, as I understand it.] Hello! I've just been hit by the same issue that has already been described in <http://bugs.debian.org/263514>. As this defect report has obviously not been resolved correctly, I'm reopening it. Gnus is rendered unusable for me. For me, this issue didn't happen on a high-traffic list, but instead on a machine's regular INBOX, where I had this Gnus / nnmaildir setup running for several years. Mail regularely showed up in the INBOX, was processed, and then I set an expiry marker that would expire it after a week. Currently there are 269 messages in the INBOX. However: tho...@kepler:~ $ find Mail/INBOX/cur/ -type f | wc -l 269 tho...@kepler:~ $ find Mail/INBOX/.nnmaildir/num/ -type f | wc -l 32000 As the latter ones are all hardlinks to the same `:' file, things broke. This is on x86 Debian testing, Emacs package version 22.2+2-5, bundeled Gnus version 5.11 (as per `/usr/share/emacs/22.2/lisp/gnus/gnus.el.gz'). Regards, Thomas
