I traced it back to news.daily and its run of rnews to catch up on anything that was received while expiration and such was running. Quite simply, rnews wasn't finished when daily began fsck'ing the drives. Solution: fiddle with your crontab to adjust for the delays. Here's mine: 0 6 * * * root /bin/sh /etc/daily ... 30 6 * * 6 root /bin/sh /etc/weekly ... 00 7 1 * * root /bin/sh /etc/monthly ... # daily cleanup and expiration 30 0 * * * news /usr/contrib/lib/news/bin/news.daily # process articles posted while server not answering 0 4 * * * news /usr/contrib/lib/news/rnews -U ____________________________.________________________________________ Martin Durand | L'imbecile n'est separe du con que par mdurand@cegep-ste-foy.qc.ca | l'illusoire distance d'un euphemisme Network everything +--- Cegep de Sainte-Foy | I know I should be working on my .sig +1-418-659-6600 #4275 | file, but who reads these things!
