My log is showing errors like May 1 05:14:17 corn kernel: [6822807.017625] EXT3-fs warning (device dm-7): ext3_dx_add_entry: Directory index full! Judging from the minor device numbers in /dev/mapper, that corresponds to my mail spool. My searches suggest that the problem indicates an individual directory has too many files in it. There does not seem to be a general shortage of inodes or space. df -i shows IUse of 11% for that partition and df says 88% of the ~37G is in use. First question: what happens in these circumstances? Are files lost? Search and indexing are inefficient? The program trying to write the file gets an error (it's cyrus. 10 seconds after the errors shown above, the log has "cyrus/master[8178]: process 11850 exited, status 98". Usually the status is 0.)? Second: is there a way to find what directory is causing the problem? Third: How can I fix this? I'm running a stock Debian Lenny 2.6.26-2-686 kernel. _______________________________________________ Ext3-users mailing list Ext3-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
