Subject: nnmaildir overload?
Date: Fri, 16 Jan 2004 19:50:51 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87k73r44is.fsf@ladle.net> (raw)
I have a single mailing list which had over 16000 messages in it. When
I exited the group I couldn't exit, getting a 14k error message. The
first two line of it are as follows:
Signaling: (file-error "Adding new name" "Too many links" "/home/rob/mail/myinternetplace/mail.lists.evals/.nnmaildir/marks/read/:" "/home/rob/mail/myinternetplace/mail.lists.evals/.nnmaildir/marks/read/1073931271_0.18828.tp600x,U=17123,FMD5=691287df477cdb411b6f056cb0287f3a")
add-name-to-file("/home/rob/mail/myinternetplace/mail.lists.evals/.nnmaildir/marks/read/:" "/home/rob/mail/myinternetplace/mail.lists.evals/.nnmaildir/marks/read/1073931271_0.18828.tp600x,U=17123,FMD5=691287df477cdb411b6f056cb0287f3a")
I moved a bunch of messages to a folder called mail.lists.evals.2001,
which cut down the number of messages in my main list considerably.
However, I still cannot exit the group. I get the same error.
What should I do? For now I am simply not reading that list with gnus.
