Hello,
We have the following setup. We are runing AIX 4.1.4 and we have procmail
doing delivery into people's home directories. All home directories are
NFS mounted from NFS servers.
We have quotas turned on, and they work fine (we have the latest AIX quota
patches installed). We I try to update a file in the shell, I get the
following error. Other shell level quota commands work fine from the NFS
clients (quota, repquota, etc...)
10:23:03 mail-hub3 $ echo "test" > test
NFS write error: on host nfs-hub1.weeg.uiowa.edu user disk quota exceeded
We have procmail being run with the -t flag, so that when a message can't
be delivered it should just be deferred and placed in the local queue.
Instead what is happening, is that procmail reports that the mail is
status=Sent, and the mail just disappears into the void. There are no
error messages going to any logs, and the user's ~/inbox does not contain
the message that was just sent.
If I perform the same test on the NFS servers, then things work as I would
expect (the message gets deferred). Has anyone seen this problem. It is
a rather serious problem, I don't know if it is AIX specific or not.
