4196.0. "fetcher problem / error is disk .." by VAXRIO::ABREU () Mon May 23 1994 21:55

    Hi,
    
      I have a customer who had a problem with the index file in the disk
    where the mail area was stored. The problem was that the fetcher started
    giving errors because the INdex file header was full and no  files could
    be created. But despite of the error , the fetcher didn't stop running
    .. so the users received messages with only the header , there was no
    content in the message. And the fetcher didn't stop running. The
    customer after some time realized the problem and stopped the fetcher
    and sender, but some messages were lost. He complained about that ...
    
    The question is ....Shouldn't the fetcher stop when it received the 
    error that the message file could not be created in the mail area ? 
    Is this a problem of 3.0A or this is a restriction ?
    
    Thanks .. Marcia

4196.1Probably a problem, unlikely to be solvable in V3.0IOSG::MARSHALLA glitch in realityTue May 24 1994 18:066
Hmmm, first time I've heard of it occuring in V3.0A.  All this sort of stuff has
been tightened up in 3.1 (following a couple of spectacular incidents early in
field test!).  I think it very unlikely there would be a patch or workaround for
V3.0(A)
