My configuration: Mailman: 2.1.14 OS: Solaris 10 Python: 2.4.5 PREFIX = '/usr/mailman' Server setup: 1 server for web management, 1 server for MTA/qrunner. /usr/mailman is NFS mounted on both servers
I've been having the following issue my mailman lists: A user is either subscribed or unsubscribed according to the logs, but then if I look at the member list, the action has not been done (or has been undone). For example, here is where I remove a subscriber and then look at the list members and they are still in the list: [mailman@myhost] ~/logs |> grep testlist subscribe | grep acase Sep 28 17:15:14 2011 (4401) testlist: new ac...@example.com, admin mass sub Sep 28 17:19:36 2011 (5821) testlist: deleted ac...@example.com; member mgt page [mailman@myhost] ~/logs |> ../bin/list_members testlist | grep acase ac...@example.com [mailman@myhost] ~/logs |> The same also happens when subscribing. I will mass subscribe users (or when users confirm subscription via email/web), the logs indicated that they have been subscribed successfully, but then when I go look them up, they are not listed on the members list. This happens sporadically, but I am generally able to reproduce the error if I do it a couple times in a row. I'm suspicious there may be a locking issue and config.pck is reverting to config.pck.last. I found this thread rather helpful in analyzing potential problems, but I have yet to figure anything out: http://web.archiveorange.com/archive/v/IezAOgEQf7xEYCSEJTbD In addition if I just run the following commands over and over, then the bug never seems to come up. This is part of why I am worrying about locking: bin/add_members ... bin/remove_members ... Is there a good way to test locking between servers? I've run the tests/test_lockfile.py, but it reports it is OK. Any and all help would be GREATLY appreciated. We've been trying to triage this bug for weeks and it is terribly disruptive for our users.
