I am having a problem with postfix wanting to have a /var/lib/postfix directory that is missing from the ISO. Postfix keeps a master.lock file there. That is blocking postfix starting up. Creating the directory with postfix:root access solves the problem. Maybe on your next build you can check and add it to the bootcd.iso? |

I'm out of the country right now (back in Germany for a visit) and can't access my build box. We have 2 options to resolve this: 1) just create the /var/lib/postfix , but I'm not sure what else is being saved there and if it needs to survive a reboot if it's a mail server. 2) there's a postfix data_dir (or something like that) setting we could point to /var/spool/postfix, which may be mounted on a disk. Could one of the guys with CVS write access take care of this please? -- Regards Heiko Zuerker http://www.devil-linux.org ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program. |

Is the problem with the regular /var filesystem, or in the chroot jail creation? Or both? - BS On Mon, Sep 15, 2008 at 12:25 AM, Serge Leschinsky <fi...@in...> wrote: > Heiko, > > OK, I'll try > > -- > Serge > > > Heiko Zuerker wrote: >> Quoting "Fred Frigerio" <ffr...@lo...>: >> >>> I am having a problem with postfix wanting to have a /var/lib/postfix >>> directory that is missing from the ISO.

Quoting "Bruce Smith" <bw...@re...>: > Is the problem with the regular /var filesystem, or in the chroot jail > creation? Or both? Good point, I'd think we would have to do it in both. It's probably best changing the setting in the main.cf and pointing it to /var/spool/postfix . -- Regards Heiko Zuerker http://www.devil-linux.org ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program. |

I tested creating the setting and pointing to /var/spool/postfix and it is running fine.

2) there's a postfix data_dir (or something like that) setting we could point to /var/spool/postfix, which may be mounted on a disk. The data_dir = /var/spool/postfix works in my system (which has a hard drive for the spool but I don't see a problem with a lock being lost through a reboot). Doing a cursory check on the net it seems that some TLS session data goes there too. Again probably OK to loose on reboot. Sorry fo the Outlook reply.
