OK, the message "None of the archives you requested (freebsd-questions) are available at this time." seems to be due to a remaining lock file. I looked into bin/mailindex, and tried to rebuild the WAIS index by removing the locks and .files, so the prepared files are added to the index again(?) The lock files stay after mailindex (and waisindex) are finished. Removing them seems to leave an empty or non-functional index. John, could you please rebuild questions and announce, and maybe give me and Martin a few hints how to resolve such issues the next time? Thanks, Stefan p.s. I think the index might be damaged, and that mailindex tries to add to it instead of rebuilding it. However, I didn't really feel like nuking the index... Comparing the original lock files' dates with the uptime, one might believe the last reboot left the index in a bad state. hub:/usr/local/www$ uptime 9:51AM up 2 days, 19:20, 6 users, load averages: 0.45, 0.48, 0.57 hub:/usr/local/www$ ls -l db/index/*.lock -rw-r--r-- 1 jfieber www 5 Feb 15 03:01 db/index/freebsd-announce.index.lock -rw-r--r-- 1 jfieber www 5 Feb 15 03:16 db/index/freebsd-questions.index.lock -rw-r--r-- 1 jfieber www 5 Feb 15 03:16 db/index/freebsd-questions.update.lock -- Mühlendamm 12 | Voice +49-40-256848, +49-177-3504009 D-22089 Hamburg | e-mail: stefan.bethke@hanse.de Germany | stb@freebsd.org
