One of my users has been signed up to a number of mailing lists, and he is
now unable to access his Maildir/cur or Maildir/new directories. I as
root can not touch them either.. ls reports a segmentation fault. Du does
as well, and rm -rf also. Basically this is a pretty big problem, as I
have no access to his directories with any standard binary tools. my
question is, what the heck is happening here, and why would an extremely
large load of messages completely kill my binary tools? I doubt he has
over a few thousand messages, which granted is alot, but I would assume
qmail is able to handle that. Has qmail gone and written something funny
into the directory inode? You have all of the information i can give
you.. like I said I cannot determine anything about what else is going
on. Any ideas?
