Folks,
I have been stress testing a new machine here (That I have compiled qmail
v 1.3 on w/ etrn support, using Mailbox format).
Machine:
- BSDI (V 4.0.1)
- i686 w/ 256 mb ram, 9.5 gb hd for testing
- qmail v1.3 (with etrn support)
- tcpserver and qpopper installed
(Not that big of a deal.)
I had decided to send 250 million messages to my mailbox. The message
arrive quickly and my mailbox soon filled to over 1gb large! This was
great.. but their was one major problem: When the user home partitian
filled up completely.. my mailbox was immediately whiped! Is this a known
qmail problem (I haven't found anything on it in the archives) or a BSDI
thing? Thank you!
PS-> I hate BSDI, but I'm forced to use it due to upper level management..
you know how it works.
