help: everything was fine, then I ran out of disk space

SOLVED: It was a permissions issue on the parent directory.


Hello all, I'm in a bit of a bind. I'm using scalix on centos 4.4. Everything was fine till I ran out of disk space on /. So I stopped sendmail, scalix, scalix-tomcat. I then copied /var/opt/scalix to /differentpartition/.scalix and then did a soft link from .scalix to /var/opt/scalix.

The copy was done with rsync -Pav which preserves permissions/ownership.

I now try to restart scalix
/etc/init.d/scalix start

but it hangs for a long time, and then eventually returns with no error. (but of course, mail server isn't accepting connections)

so is it the soft link that's the problem? Or did the copy process fubar something?

Thanks for any insight.

i'm stupid.

i went out of my way to check permissions on the scalix directory, but the parent directory had the wrong permissions.

Chalk it up to being in a rush.

Thanks anyways. This is a great product and a great forum.
