Oh, that's too bad. I don't usually run article caching, but when I was first turning up version 2 I did for a while and saw something similar (articles being written to wrong groups). The group command scans the directory as well, so that would explain your problem. At the time I chalked it up to general flakyness. In retrospect it was almost certainly the Task info getting overwritten. >I'll keep an eye on it and report back the next time it goes nuts. If you applied that most recent patchset, most likely you won't. I turned article caching back on after you mentioned your problem, and it hasn't failed yet (before the fix it got badly corrupted in a matter of hours). -- Aaron Nabil
