Hi! I have a configuration of two servers which both import a shared directory from a third server via NFS. One of the two server is the mail server, the second is the web server. I have copied the complete mailman tree to the NFS share. The configuration works fine, mails are delivered and I can work within in the web interface on the other server. Unfortunately, removing lists doesn't work, because NFS doesn't support locking.
mail bin # ./rmlist rk-rekoze Not removing archives. Reinvoke with -a to remove them. postalias: fatal: lock /usr/local/mailman/data/aliases.db: No locks available Traceback (most recent call last): File "./rmlist", line 153, in ? main() File "./rmlist", line 121, in main sys.modules[modname].remove(mlist) File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/MTA/Postfix.py", line 296, in remove _update_maps() File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/MTA/Postfix.py", line 53, in _update_maps raise RuntimeError, msg % (acmd, status, errstr) RuntimeError: command failed: /usr/sbin/postalias /usr/local/mailman/data/aliases (status: 1, Operation not permitted) I know this is kind of Postfix related problem. but I hope somebody on this list has run into the same problem and found a workaround.
