Hello, I want just to share my last experience with the combination of power failure + background fsck. After the power returned and the machine booted, it sheduled background fsck after 60 seconds, but at this point most of the services were already started, and some of them seemed to rely on files that were probably in unclean state before the check. This unfortunately leaded to some lost email...after the fsck completed, everything runs ok, but i have now set background_fsck to NO in rc.conf. Here is a sad sample from my qmail log file : @4000000042c1badc24fc21cc delivery 1: success: /libexec/ld-elf.so.1:_Shared_object_"libpq.so.3"_not_found,_required_by_"dspam"/did_0+0+1/ @4000000042c1badc24fff25c status: local 2/30 remote 0/20 @4000000042c1badc250151ec delivery 4: success: /libexec/ld-elf.so.1:_Shared_object_"libpq.so.3"_not_found,_required_by_"dspam"/did_0+0+1/ @4000000042c1badc2502bd34 status: local 1/30 remote 0/20 @4000000042c1badc25050ef4 end msg 23982 @4000000042c1badc2508b0a4 delivery 2: success: /libexec/ld-elf.so.1:_Shared_object_"libpq.so.3"_not_found,_required_by_"dspam"/did_0+0+1/ @4000000042c1badc250a9cd4 status: local 0/30 remote 0/20 @4000000042c1badc250c7d4c end msg 24087 @4000000042c1badc2510942c end msg 24040 --niki
