> * Innd data corruption, probably caused by bug truncation bug (Rik > van Riel) This bug has not been fixed, I can still reproduce it (but not every time). This is how it happens:
- INN (1.7.2+insync+other patches, the debian package I maintain) is running - active is correct - I post an article, which is filed with the correct number - for *this group only* the high value is wrong and equal to the one in the active file I precedently saved (in some cases this does not happen and I can't notice anything wrong in the active file) - I stop INN - the whole active file is now 100% identical to the saved copy
And the file mtime has not been updated (this time since the precedent day):
-rw-r--r-- 1 news news 3075 Sep 10 00:02 active
This happens on my personal workstation with plenty of free RAM and a tiny UUCP feed. Right now it happened after the daily expire run: I stopped INN and the file on disk changed to the copy I saved before expire started.
