Howdy,

I'm getting errors reading 1 sub, and its a sub that is only getting mailing list mail.

chksmb and fixsmb both error with the same error when trying to read it:

FIXSMB v2.10-Linux (rev 1.46) SMBLIB 2.61 - Rebuild Synchronet Message Base

Opening ml_luvtalk
smb_open returned -202: smb_locksmbhdr timeout locking message base

In lieu of blowing it away, is there anything else I can do?

I would close all processes that could have the *.shd file open and locked. You
could use lsof or other tools to find out exactly which process that is or just
close any/all BBS-related processes.

If that doesn't work, I would just reboot. The type of lock that smb_locksmbhdr
is referring to is managed by the file system drivers, so it should disappear when the process that had the lock is closed. If not, then the file system drivers are
themselves acting up and rebooting should clear that up.

Would you want
any debugging to see if there is something that needs to be fixed?

Unless you discover a Synchronet process running in an infinite loop (say, jsexec maybe?), I can't think of any Synchronet cause. Even if a program crashes whil having a message base header locked, that lock should get released
automatically by the file
system when the file is closed.

This is a file list:
root@alterant:/opt/sbbs/data/subs# ls -al ml_luvtalk*

That all looks fine and normal to me.

Hmm, ok.

I ran lsof, and grep "luv" (I have 3 subs that have that in their name) - and it showed many many lines (100's?) - so I did a gree on just luvtalk.shd - and
it showed this:

The 4th one down caught my eye - it looks like SigH (sighandler? sighalt), and perhaps is the start of something not right.

Anyway, I restart of the docker container, now shows NO open files with the "luv" in it - and I'm logged in and did a new scan in that group (and read some
new mail in that group).

So I'm leading to think something went astray, I'll report if I see it again... ...deon

Hey DM,

I would close all processes that could have the *.shd file open and
locked. You could use lsof or other tools to find out exactly which
process that is or just close any/all BBS-related processes.

Within 12 hrs of restarting SBBS, I had the same problem again.

Given that its been running for weeks (to months) without a problem, I think something is amiss here.

The message sub in question receives list serv emails - so I'm wondering if a bad email is causing an abend of some sort - resulting in the SMTP server trying again and again and again until file handles are exausted for this sub? (Dunno, just throwing
ideas.)

It probably was pretty quiet, but I've seen some activity in the last few days - so I think that is related.

How can I diagnose this?

Process of elimination is one path. Closely examining all log output (including

OK, I'll go down that route...

While the logging WAS informational, here is what I saw:

Leading up to this time point, the following messages were received by each sub
from when SBBS was started on the 2nd Jan:

44 2/4 luv-talk@bbs...
24 2/5 luv-talk@bbs...
23 2/6 luv-talk@bbs...
23 2/7 luv-talk@bbs...

Which will explain why it fell over 12 hrs later after restarting..

I've set up a debug log, that will count the open files every minute and Ive set SBBS to debugging - I'll see if it captures anything more...

DM,

So I restarted SBBS (14:04), and had a debug log running that basically does lsof -n |grep LUV, logging to a file every minute.

Here is that result:

Between 14:21:07 and 14:22:09, one message came in - it appears to be 7400 lines (yup, usual...)

So it appears that that mail doesnt successfully get delivered, I found it in the queue, and can make it available if it is of interest:

-rw-r----- 1 root 103 566073 Feb 2 16:43 df0125hQSH006392
-rw-r----- 1 root 103 5888 Feb 8 14:41 qf0125hQSH006392

It appers to never be deleted because SMTP is returning a 452 to the upstream SMTP server:

[...] does lsof -n |grep LUV, logging to a file every minute.

FWIW: you really should put a space after your pipe signs so we can read what you wrote without triggering pipe code color translations or dropping characters when the pipe code processor eats them as an invalid pipe code ;)

requoted and edited...

[...] does lsof -n | grep LUV, logging to a file every minute.

there... that's easier to read and there's nothing turned green :)

The message sub in question receives list serv emails - so I'm wondering if a bad email is causing an abend of some sort - resulting in the SMTP server trying again and again and again until file handles are exausted for this sub? (Dunno, just throwing ideas.)

Are you running Windows? May need to exclude the directory from AV scanning...
not sure if that's your issue or not.

Thanks for the idea - but no, not windows, and not file processing related.

This is inbound SMTP directly into a sub...
