Bad index files.

[Earl R Shannon]

Hello,

No. Solaris 7 and 8, using UFS with noatime as an option at mount time.
The filesystems are volume slices of a RAID on a T3 attached via
a Fibre SAN.

The stop/start is when this seems to happen. Is it not possible that
imapd processes are being SIGKILLed and leaving the index files
in an untenable state?

Regards,
Earl Shannon
