Have you ever try to chmod 444 on /usr/man/COHERENT? If yes, may be you can see the same problem as yours. I've this problem when I'm lazy enuff to put a new man pages to other directory and just put them in /usr/man/ COHERENT and just chmod 444 /usr/man/COHERENT... and I stuck and the only way I can continue was to reboot my system..!! I've run WNEWS for couple of days on my system and never got any experience as yours, I think it is COHERENT. > Thanks > Joachim -mid-

Hi, When I tested WNEWS I fed it with about 1 MB News each day. Now I tried 2.5 MB but had only about 50 groups in the active-file. So the junk- directory filled up with about 1200 Files. The directory-file junk was afterwards about 19 KB large. I wanted to ls the directory, ls coredumped. Maybe they never thought that a silly guy could try to have more than 1000 Files in one directory. The problem I had was that rm * never stopped. There seemed to be a recursive file structure and so rm couldn't finish I now solved the problem with ls -i junk (to find out the inode) and clri this inode. I now have no idea if it is a problem in WNEWS or a problem of Coherent. I saw no error in inews, the file that puts the articles into the direc- tories. It opens article-files, write them, close them. Has anyone outthere who runs a News - System on Coherent had such problems (News seems to be the only usage where such large amounts of files may occur) ?

I also got sometimes the error message: (11,1) Inode ???? busy In the manual you found the hint that you should contact your hardware retailer if such error occurs. I think the only problem is that Coherent is too slow for a 386/33 Micronics with a Rodime 110MB Harddisk with Interleave 1:1. Should reformat it with Interleave 2 or 3. Joachim BTW: Did the hints help to get WNEWS posting ?
