But, when fsck runs nightly, I get huge error files with tons of messages about unallocated files (all in the spool). I really don't know why they are getting unallocated. BSDi suggested that they were open when a process was killed, or whatnot, but thats not true because INN has never died, nor as innxmit, so they should be all closed (no one reads them.). Does anyone have any suggestions? Could it be because the disk is constantly (and I mean constantly) writing and it can't keep up with the I/O's? Yes, I know IDE is old and shitty, but unfortunatly there is nothing I can do about that right now. I apprecaite all the help. +---------------------------------------------------+ |Lance Cavener cavenerl@nbnet.nb.ca | +---------------------------------------------------+ | "I would never lie.
