List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , List-Archive: Hi, We have this peculiar problem for the Mailboxes of users /var/spool/mail/username. The mailboxes get corrupted asto the first 20-26 lines of mailbox get DELETED. We are using 2.4.20-18.8.um.1 kernel on the (LVS Director) which exports the mail partition to 30 NFS/NIS clients. i am not sure if this would be the right place to ask this question, but this is a problem bugging us since long. Googled extensively, but couldnt work out the proper solution. Could anybody suggest, why this is happening and how it could be overcome. Thanks a lot portmapper gives following results 100000 2 tcp 111 portmapper 100000 2 udp 111 portmapper 100024 1 udp 32768 status 100024 1 tcp 32768 status 100004 2 udp 953 ypserv 100004 1 udp 953 ypserv 100004 2 tcp 956 ypserv 100004 1 tcp 956 ypserv 391002 2 tcp 32769 sgi_fam 100003 2 udp 2049 nfs 100003 3 udp 2049 nfs 100021 1 udp 32770 nlockmgr 100021 3 udp 32770 nlockmgr 100021 4 udp 32770 nlockmgr 100005 1 udp 32771 mountd 100005 1 tcp 32770 mountd 100005 2 udp 32771 mountd 100005 2 tcp 32770 mountd 100005 3 udp 32771 mountd 100005 3 tcp 32770 mountd 100009 1 udp 668 yppasswdd 100011 1 udp 907 rquotad 100011 2 udp 907 rquotad 100011 1 tcp 910 rquotad 100011 2 tcp 910 rquotad i am not sure if this would be the right place to ask this question, but this is a problem bugging us since long.
