About once a week, shortly after midnight (00:03), listserv crashes. A CORE file is created -- the darn thing is huge. :-) Usually I see the following in the log: >21 Sep 2001 00:00:09 Reindexing L-CLUBSERV LOG0109C... >Load_index: V=1250 T=1970 size=44672k >21 Sep 2001 00:00:14 Reindexing L-PSUADM LOG0109C... > >*** FIO file cache now totals 42596k.

I'm going to erase the l-psuadm files because they always seem to be involved. Thought I'd mention it to the group first in case anyone wanted to look at anything. My FIOC settings are FIOC_TARGET=20000 FIOC_TRIM=24000 FIOC_WARNING=35000 Should I crank these up a bit? We have 2900 lists, 628000 subscribers and 9600 notebook files. -- Cheerfulness is contagious, but don't wait to catch it from others. Be a "carrier".
