Hi
Majority of groups on https://www.novabbs.com frozen since
yesterday. Of those that I follow: comp.arch, comp.lang.c,
comp.os.vms I posted to rocksolid.shared.test and don't see my post
on novabbs. However not the whole site is frozen. Few sport groups
are updating just fine.
Thank you for letting me know.
It's fixed now. It was a low disk space issue and I have now increased
space substantially. The software pauses peering when below a
configured amount of remaining disk space. Articles should be coming
in and going out now. There shouldn't be missing articles.
I mentioned a while back that I should trigger an email to admin when
this happens, but as also happens, I forgot to do that.
You are quick. Thank you.
Personally, I use novabbs only occasionally and only in read-only
mode for 10-20 minutes on my way from work to home. So, by
chance, I had seen the issue yesterday and today decided to report.
I wonder why more active novabbs users didn't complain. May be, those
that are logged in were not affected?
Quite a few novabbs users use groups that are mostly other novabbs
users. They would not notice as they would continue to see posts made
locally, and chat away.
Many of my users really don't understand newsgroups, and would probably
not really understand how to report (click 'bugs' upper right). That's
not their fault, they were trained on google groups. Most of my seasoned
Usenet users migrate pretty quickly to news.i2pn2.org (or e-s), and use
a newsreader, the way Usenet is meant to be used :)
