[Mailman-Users] Read-only file system

2024-07-01 Thread John 
We're attempting to install mailman on our new server. It's been running 
happily on our old one for years.
This server is running Oracle 9 RHEL Linux. It uses postfix for its MTA. We 
built mailman 2. 1.39 from source, with the options ./configure 
--with-cgi-gid=apache –with-mail-gid=nobody .
If someone subscribes to our mailing list, mailman will successfully send a 
confirmation message.
Messages posted to the list, however, fail with:

Command died with status 1:
"/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post newsletter". Command output:
Traceback (most recent call last): File
"/usr/local/mailman/scripts/post", line 69, in  main() File
"/usr/local/mailman/scripts/post", line 64, in main tolist=1,
_plaintext=1) File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Queue/Switchboard.py",
line 136, in enqueue fp = open(tmpfile, 'w') IOError: [Errno 30]
Read-only file system:
'/usr/local/mailman/qfiles/in/1719765141.057583+cb104828efdd0023821ead337d3d60f72e949690.pck.tmp'

Setting /usr/local/mailman/qfiles/in/ to have write permissions for all didn’t 
fix the problem.
Does anyone have any experience with this issue, and a suggestion as to how to 
resolve it? We’ve tried everything we can think of, and madness is setting in.
Thanks.

Have you run bin/check_perms? If not, that will flag all the permission 
problems; adding -f will fix them.


Later,

What are you running on? "Read-only filesystem" with shell looking like 
everything's fine happens on dead drives and (more often) messed-up VM 
storage volumes. "Read-only" bit doesn't eve show up in `mount` when 
that happens, as I recall.

It is not clear what directory is the mount pount for this, but it is 
mounted read-only. No one, not even root, can write to it. Look at 
/etc/fstab

If there was some sort of error, the file system would automatically be
re-mounted read-only.  Something like a power glitch, etc. can do this.  Also
a failing disk (sudden bad sector reads or writes).

[Mailman-Users] Re: Read-only file system

2024-07-01 Thread Steven Jones via Mailman-Users 
Yes a disk "failure" is possible,

I recently had a Samsung 980 pro nvme drive runout of spare blocks (due to bad 
firmware), this made the file system readonly.

Run smartctl on the disk(s)  to check.


regards

Steven
