Hello all,

I’ve a problem with the omscan tool. When the scan runs every time a missing directory is reported:

omscan running on 07.18.05 at 20:30:00.
Host computer : beklx001.
Fix mode requested.

Last omscan tool run on 07.17.05 at 20:30:00; duration 1 minute(s).
Previous server cycle run on 06.28.05 at 16:36:21; duration 17 minute(s).
Current server cycle not started; service reset or delayed.

Extra check option requested.
Passive scan option requested.

Scanning file/dir links .... done.

CAUTION: Scanning of message store has started.
Mounted file/dir links must be maintained during the scan.
VxFS file system must not be reorganized - see omscan(1M).

Missing user directories ....
~/user/u00004d

Disk usage ....

The omscan tool can’t fix this error. How can I fix this by hand?

Thanks

I have no idea how this can happen.
You should check if you have a user for this directory.
Scalix Userdirs are BASE32 (OM file) coded.
4d -> 141

see whats the output of
omshowu -O 141

I guess if theres a user, he never gets any mail. You should delete this mailbox and run a
omscan -Aa

If theres no maibox with this Scalix ID we have to get a bit deeper.

No there is no user with the id 4d (141).

Code: Select all

beklx001:~ # omshowu -O 141
omshowu : [OM 8040] The user can't be found, or has been deleted.

beklx001:~ #

So what can I do to delete this file?

Do you have a
/var/opt/scalix/user/u00004d
directory?
omscan shows this missing directory also if theres a "homeless" u-dir.
Is it possible, that is is a relict of a copied /var/opt/scalix tree?

No, there is no direcNo, there is no directory „/var/opt/scalix/user/u00004d”. I don’t copied the “/var/opt/scalix”.

There was an old "~/user/g00004d" directory. I've deleted it. Now everything is all right.

Thanks

Ben
