Trying to get attachments to another partition
Hello everyone,
Using a soft link as a substitute for the /var/lib/mailman/archives/private/my_list_name/attachments directory, I have tried to get my mailman installation to start putting attachments on another partition. This has not worked--I always get a "permission denied" error in the log. However, the link is accessible and the directory it points to is owned by the proper user.
Of course the overall problem is that /var is too small for the number of lists now running on this server, but I thought that if I redirected the attachments I could buy more time to get the storage. I cannot figure out why this is not working.
Thanks for your help,
Steve
