Version: 1.4.7 (using KDE 3.0.8 (KDE 3.1 beta2)) Installed from: compiled sources Compiler: gcc version 3.2 20020903 (Red Hat Linux 8.0 3.2-7) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.4.18-14 when i check my mail sometimes, it crashes and says out of disk space. well, it doesn't actually crash but it says something about an error about being outta disk space and then it closes down. i have tons of space left on all my partitions, what is causing this? also, i get lots of errors about indexes being out of date. it says to read the entry in the faq about this, but i couldn't find it. even when the indexes are fixed, it only stays fixed for a couple of days before it happens again. thanks for the help, christopher

A write failed. The most likely reason for a failed write is a full disk. If this isn't the case then there has to another problem why the write failed. KMail does immediately exit after a failed write to prevent the loss or corruption of messages. > also, i get lots of errors about indexes being out of date. it says > to read the entry in the faq about this, but i couldn't find it.

This is a rough outline of the FAQ: Is your home directory on an NFS mounted device? Are the clock of the NFS server and the clock of your local machine out of sync? If the answer to both questions is yes then you the problem will most likely go away when you sync the clocks of the NFS server and the NFS clients. Regards, Ingo

Subject: Re: New: crashes saying out of disk space I close this bug report since the "out of disk space" errors (which actually seem to be "write failed" errors) are most likely caused by a broken NFS server/client or by other problems on your system. Regards, Ingo
