Environment: mm 2.1.5, python 2.2.3, rhel es3 u2
(I've searched FAQ for this, in vain...)
On a list (called reach-l), which has a very large archive mbox, I just tried to do
$prefix/bin/arch --wipe reach-lIt got several hundred messages in and then blew up with a segmentation fault. Reading a bit deeper, I see that perhaps I should have specified some reasonable -s and -e values to limit the memory usage, but hindsight is 20:20.
Since then, I've been unable to get a lock on the list. When I try, e.g,
$prefix/bin/arch -s 1 -e 499 --wipe reach-l...it just hangs. When I interrupt (^C), I see:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "/var/mailman/bin/arch", line 189, in ? main() File "/var/mailman/bin/arch", line 141, in main mlist = MailList(listname) File "/var/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 126, in __init__ self.Lock() File "/var/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 159, in Lock self.__lock.lock(timeout) File "/var/mailman/Mailman/LockFile.py", line 312, in lock self.__sleep() File "/var/mailman/Mailman/LockFile.py", line 496, in __sleep time.sleep(interval) KeyboardInterrupt
...which I believe I can reproduce in its most simple case with this:
[mailman at lists reach-l]$ /var/mailman/bin/withlist reach-l Loading list reach-l (unlocked) The variable `m' is the reach-l MailList instance
m.Lock()
[it just hangs until I ^C, then:]
Traceback (most recent call last): File "<console>", line 1, in ? File "/var/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 159, in Lock self.__lock.lock(timeout) File "/var/mailman/Mailman/LockFile.py", line 312, in lock self.__sleep() File "/var/mailman/Mailman/LockFile.py", line 496, in __sleep time.sleep(interval) KeyboardInterrupt
How can I clean things up for this list such that service code that wants to, can get a lock on the list?
