[Mailman-Users] no archives, no logs after system failure

Hello,

Our server recently had hard drive problems, and the system was copied 
to another drive where it seems to be more or less happy.

But we're having a strange Mailman problem (Mailman 2.1.5 on OSX Server 
10.4.10): the lists are running, mail is being delivered, but no 
archiving is taking place and nothing is being written to the log files. 
The last change date for all log files is the day the original drive 
died, as is the date of the last archived messages to our lists. 
Otherwise all seems to be well...

Can someone help me with some ideas of where to start looking? I've run 
out of ideas at this point. Permissions seem to be fine. Nothing is in 
our system logs indicating a problem. I run:

roar:/var/mailman/logs root# /usr/share/mailman/bin/mailmanctl stop
Shutting down Mailman's master qrunner
roar:/var/mailman root# /usr/share/mailman/bin/mailmanctl start
Starting Mailman's master qrunner.

With no problems, but as mentioned, the stop/start does not appear in 
the logs.

Any ideas?


thanks,
douglas
