I don't remember offhand. The inn FAQ (i think) addresses this..

Hmmm thanks for the pointer!

I went to check, and my news.daily is already renumbering every day...
I had already tried the stop-makehistory-start-renumber sequence, but
for some reason I'm still getting throttled...

What are the reasons for throttling and the system staying in that mode?

Thanks again,
Ricardo

I use innd built from scratch, and I don't have these problems. However,
on some other boxes that I admin, I see these from time to time.
Did you install debian's innd on a running news system? Try shutting
down the news system, and run makehistory. Then start up and renumber.
If you can spare the cpu cycles, have news.daily do the renumber 
for you at night.

Why does the server keep throttling? :(  I can't find any error messages
that point me to my problems... But I've been finding that everynight the
server is stopping (I assume throttling). Each morning I look at the
logfile and it is of size zero. Only after I do a ctlinnd go "" does it
start back up...

Help! ;)

The server throttled with the error, so you have to run
'ctlinnd go "" ' to get it running first.

Re: problems with innd

I ran 
ctlinnd renumber ""

and got the message "Must be running".

This is the second time I've seen this message... what does it mean?
innd is up and running and receiving articles. Why would ctlinnd say that?

problems with innd

1996-12-16 Thread Ricardo Kleemann

Hi,

I'm using Debian 1.1, with the supplied innd package. 

I'm having problems posting articles, getting the message

Can't send article to the server:
441 400 File exists writing symlinking article file -- throttling
(Article not posted.)

According to the INN-FAQ, Linux must not use MMAP for innd; supposedly
that's the cause of the problem.

Is that true? I assumed that the debian-distributed innd would work fine
out of the box... What is the problem with mmap? How do I fix this
problem?

Please help...

Thanks!
Ricardo
