Hi

I tried the following
[root@h1 ~]# /usr/lib/mailman/bin/newlist mailman
[...]
List already exists: mailman

[root@h1 ~]# /usr/lib/mailman/bin/rmlist mailman
Not removing archives.  Reinvoke with -a to remove them.

[root@h1 ~]# /usr/lib/mailman/bin/newlist mailman

[root@h1 ~]#  /usr/lib/mailman/bin/mailmanctl start

    fp = open(dbfile)

[root@h1 ~]# ls -ls /irafs0/mailman/lists/mailman/config.pck

[root@h1 ~]# chown mailman /irafs0/mailman/lists/mailman/config.pck

[root@h1 ~]#  /usr/lib/mailman/bin/mailmanctl start
Site list is missing: mailman

I tried the same on a normal filesystem (ext4) and all went well, so I'm suspecting that the issue is related to some locking problem.

cheers

If it says the list exists, you can remove it and recreate -
http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-install/site-list.html
I see no harm in doing that.

Hi

on a RHEL6.4 with mailman-2.1.12-18 on amd64, I'm trying to run mailman with
all his /var/lib/mailman stuff (archives, data, lists, spam)stored on a
lustre 2.1.5 filesystem.

when I try to start mailman (either '/usr/lib/mailman/bin/mailmanctl start'
or '/etc/init.d/mailman start') it says:

Site list is missing: mailman

and in /var/log/mailman/error

Apr 24 15:53:17 2013 (30798) IOError reading list extension: [Errno 13]

4 -rw-rw---- 1 mailman mailman 3763 Apr 23 12:00
/irafs0/mailman/lists/mailman/config.pck

I'm suspecting that can be some lock problem. I tried to mount the lustre
volume with nolock, localflock and flock, but nothing changes.

any hints?
thank

francesco
