This problem seems to happen about once a month. Wondering if it's a configuration probably on my end or just an issue with my filer.
Mail is delivered to ~/.mailbox onto a F540 running 4.3.1D7. and clients are all Solaris 2.5.1.
After about a month I start getting lots of calls from users (mostly elm users, some mutt users) about being unable to read their mailbox. A truss on the process shows it sleeping waiting for a flock on .mailbox. mutt uses dotlocking and seems to just hang doing an open().
Only solution seems to be a reboot. Any clues or pointers on where I should be looking?
Thanks.
