Hi all,
since no one responded till now I have to repost.
I have some problems running leafnode...
First I'd like to know what's the latest version of it? I'm currently using
leafnode 1.4-5 on a RH 4.2 system. PII 300 with 64MB + 128MB swap.
I have my /var on a 200MB partition. I use netscape for reading news. I read
about 5 groups with abot 1000 messages pro day. So far all works but here are
my problems:
fetch is very slow after having retrieved the articles. I only see much disk
activity for about 5 minutes or more. Then when trying to read a group with
netscape I think that lefnode is invoked and the disk activity begins again. It
then takes up to 10 minutes for the articles of ONLY one group to be retrieved.
In this case some 200-400 messages. This repeats for about
every group. Netscape is showing for one group 40K of messages. It seems that
the more messages have already been read it takes longer for retrieving
new messages. I have no idea why it takes so long for fetch/leafnode to
retrieve/sort the messages.
In my /var/log/messages I have a line like this:
Nov 27 19:43:31 localhost fetch[535]: writev() for .overview failed: Invalid argument
Nov 27 20:10:33 localhost leafnode[631]: writev() for .overview failed: Invalid
argument
What do this messages want say me?
How can I make leafnode faster?
Then lefnode does not remove the messages as it should. They should expire in 5
days which should leave 10000 messages max. But I have always about 40000
messages and texpire does not remove them...
Is there any other newsserver with similar easy configuration as leafnode?
Please help!!
Thanx in advance
Jacek
