This is at least slightly off-topic, but I'm going to ask anyway. We've had our /var/spool/MIMEDefang directory on a tmpfs filesystem for quite a while. Every once and a while, mail stops flowing because the tmpfs filesystem is full. That by itself is strange. It's even stranger because when I rm -rf /var/spool/MIMEDefang/* (after stopping MIMEDefang and Sendmail), the disk usage stays the same. I even made sure that all the mimedefang* and sendmail processes were killed. It seems to me that this is either a case of file descriptors being stuck open somehow or a memory leak in the tmpfs code. In any case, umount and remounting the filesystem solves the problem as is expected. The box is running Red Hat Linux 9. The kernel version is 2.4.20-18.9 from the RedHat RPM. Sendmail is version 8.12.8-5.90 from the RedHat RPM. I'm running MIMEDefang version 2.34 compiled from source using GCC version 3.2.2 20030222 from the RedHat RPM (3.2.2-5). Has anyone seen this sort of behavior?
