Relay-Version: version B 2.10 5/3/83; site utzoo.UUCP Path: utzoo!linus!necntc!ames!amdcad!pyramid!csg From: csg@pyramid.UUCP Newsgroups: ba.news.config,news.config,pyr.news Subject: (*Hiccup*) pyramid overflows /usr/spool Message-ID: <3834@pyramid.pyramid.com> Date: Fri, 24-Jul-87 12:20:56 EDT Article-I.D.: pyramid.3834 Posted: Fri Jul 24 12:20:56 1987 Date-Received: Sat, 25-Jul-87 14:25:53 EDT Reply-To: usenet@pyramid.pyramid.com Organization: Pyramid Technology Corp., Mountain View, CA Lines: 12 Xref: linus news.config:234 We got hit by an unexpected bulge of news last night (where do those things come from?) and pyramid badly overflowed its /usr/spool partition. (Geez, you would think half an Eagle would be enough.) The dangling remnants of log files suggest that a considerable amount of news and mail was thrown on the floor. We'll take care of the lost news, but any mail routed to/through pyramid.com last night should be resent. I *was* delighted to see that 2.11 expire coped with the out-of-disk-space condition much more elegantly than previous versions -- no more zero length active file! Still, I'd rather not have found out by experience....
