Subject: nnmaildir reports bogus number of articles
Date: Sat, 26 Oct 2002 13:17:16 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87elad4fgj.fsf@xyzzy.adsl.dk> (raw)
After I updated my ognus a week ago my nnmaildir folders have begun to
report a pretty large number of available articles.
I got a folder with 2345 messages in it:
brother@mac:~/Mail/nnmaildir/linux.kernel$ ls cur | wc -l
2345
brother@mac:~/Mail/nnmaildir/linux.kernel$
But gnus is reporting about 5000 unread messages each time i updates
and it says that there are about 7000 messages at total.
But looking arund in the folder I found the following:
brother@mac:~/Mail/nnmaildir/linux.kernel$ ls .nnmaildir/num/ | wc -l
7171
brother@mac:~/Mail/nnmaildir/linux.kernel$
7171 hardlinks to the same empty file with no information in the
filname I can find any use of
brother@mac:~/Mail/nnmaildir/linux.kernel$ ls -l .nnmaildir/num/ | head
total 0
-rw-r--r-- 7171 brother users 0 Oct 26 12:57 1
-rw-r--r-- 7171 brother users 0 Oct 26 12:57 10
-rw-r--r-- 7171 brother users 0 Oct 26 12:57 100
-rw-r--r-- 7171 brother users 0 Oct 26 12:57 1000
-rw-r--r-- 7171 brother users 0 Oct 26 12:57 1001
-rw-r--r-- 7171 brother users 0 Oct 26 12:57 1002
-rw-r--r-- 7171 brother users 0 Oct 26 12:57 1003
-rw-r--r-- 7171 brother users 0 Oct 26 12:57 1004
-rw-r--r-- 7171 brother users 0 Oct 26 12:57 1005
brother@mac:~/Mail/nnmaildir/linux.kernel$
All the other directories in .nnmaildir seems to have the same number
of files as the number of articles.
Is there a known fix for this problem?
