Bayes journal problem
Dear all, I'm using spamassassin 3.1.0 without problems. Starting from today I see the following messages in the log files of my mail server: Jan 24 16:35:13 alpha spamd[8295]: partial write to Bayes journal /etc/mail/spamassassin/BAYES/bayes_journal (4040 of 118632), recovering.

Re: Bayes journal problem
Perhaps you have per-user Bayes and the user has gone over-quota on disk space? Loren

I add some disk quota to the users that was out of quota, but the problem seems unresolved.

Jan 25 12:31:13 alpha spamd[2021]: Exiting subroutine via last This still looks like a quota or permissions problem, or maybe a missing home directory for some user. I think this is saying that Bayes could not write to a file in etc/mail/spamassassin/BAYES. I'm guessing this is a common file rather than a per-user file. So perhaps the user does not have permission to write to this directory? Loren

This still looks like a quota or permissions problem, or maybe a missing
home directory for some user.
FWIW, the error occurs when the journal has been opened for writing (so in
theory the permissions and such should be ok), but any attempt to actually put
data into the journal fails, specifically that syswrite() (therefore the
system's write() function) returns an error.
I've attached a patch which you could use against M::SA::BayesStore::DBM
which makes that error message include the system's error string which
should hopefully be useful.
