I would highly suggest not doing that. Mail processing / storage is quite possibly the worst-case application for PVFS or PVFS2, and most definately not what it is designed for. In this case, it is possible that postfix is attempting to lock files using flock(), which is not supported on PVFS2. -- Nathan Poznick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> In America the President reigns for four years, and Journalism governs for ever and ever. - Oscar Wilde
