| Subject: (7.39) Inn hangs during renumbering the active file |
|---|
Q: Is it normal for INN to hang during a renumber? Yes. Innd doesn't accept incoming articles as they might change the contents of a directory / the number count in active while renumber tries to adjust these numbers. If it would accept these articles then you would get '400 File exists writing article file' errors, which you could get rid of by ctlinnd renumber ... Internally, renumber is a loop the calls NGrenumber on each group in active. NGrenumber then renumbers the group. So while Innd is in this loop it can't accept connections. If you are worried by the long time the server does not accept connections, then do something like (from news.daily): while read GROUP hi lo flag ; do
ctlinnd -s renumber ${GROUP} 2>&1
sleep ${RENUMBER}
done <${ACTIVE}
This will renumber separately each group leaving the possibility toget connections while sleep()ing. ------------------------------ [Last Changed: $Date: 1997/09/16 01:25:57 $ $Revision: 2.25 $] [Copyright: 1997 Heiko Rupp, portions by Tom Limoncelli, Rich Salz, et al.] |
