We should clean some things up, but we do still have 1.9GB of free space. (And we often linger around this anyway.) Postfix is set to accept mail as long as there is 25MB of free space: main.cf:queue_minfree = 2500 That doesn't matter. Check your main.cf. What message_size_limit have you defined? I guess, your /var is getting temporarly quit full due to some cronjobs e.g. backup-scripts which need a lot of temp-space to zip big directories like /home. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Andy Smith said: Hmm, I run postfix in two jails (both hosted on -STABLE), and have never had this problem unless I've really been out of disk.. Interesting. Maybe it's been fixed as of late and we didn't notice. I'll take another look at it when I get the time but I can say with 100% certainty that this issue prevented a jailed Postfix from accepting any incoming messages at all and was a showstopper for many people. Just Google for postfix jail and you should find information on it. -- Charles Ulrich System Administrator Ideal Solution - http://www.idealso.com ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Postfix thinks there isn't enough disk space in a jail
adp said: This problem seems to be affecting Postfix in a FreeBSD jail, and I haven't seen this problem outside of a jail, so I'm trying questions@ first. I am running postfix-2.0.18,1 (from ports) in a FreeBSD 4.10 system in a jail. Everything was fine until recently I moved NFS services over to this same server. (This may be a red herring.) Now, every few mails I get an email to Postmaster like this: In normal operation, Postfix makes a system call to check to see if it can create a file of a certain size. Inside a jail, this call will not succeed as per the very design of jails. Thus, you must use the following one-line patch to make postfix work. You can use the `patch` command, but it's probably just easiest to insert the line manually. Remember that a 'make clean' from within the port directory will wipe this change out, patch or no. --- ./src/util/file_limit.c.origTue Aug 22 14:44:44 2000 +++ ./src/util/file_limit.c Mon Apr 8 12:43:55 2002 @@ -85,6 +85,7 @@ #else struct rlimit rlim; +limit = RLIM_INFINITY; rlim.rlim_cur = rlim.rlim_max = limit; if (setrlimit(RLIMIT_FSIZE, rlim) 0) msg_fatal(setrlimit: %m); This patch probably hasn't made it into the port because it completely bypasses a moderately important check.
