Hi!

Have a problem with sendmail on a centos-4 vps. I get

Aug 24 13:02:59 tele sendmail[32545]: filesys_update failed: Value too large for defined data type, fs=., avail=-1, blocksize=-2147136315
Aug 24 13:02:59 tele sendmail[32545]: k7OB2xc9032545: low on space (SMTP-DAEMON needs 0 bytes + 100 blocks in /var/spool/mqueue), max avail: 0
Aug 24 13:02:59 tele sendmail[32545]: k7OB2xc9032545: low on space (SMTP-DAEMON needs 0 bytes + 100 blocks in /var/spool/mqueue), max avail: 0
Aug 24 13:02:59 tele sendmail[32545]: rejecting new messages: min free: 100

But im not low on diskspace
[root@tele log]# df
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
simfs 10485436 3152940 7332496 31% /

Have shut down selinux so it shouldnt be that..
Tried strace on sendmail and got couple of

statfs(".", 0xbf89ab80) = -1 EOVERFLOW (Value too large for defined data type)

But Im not fluent in strace Smile

so i dont really know what it means. And /proc/user_beancounters have the whole failcnt column filled with zeros...

Im out of ideas, maybe I need to move to postfix Smile

Where does your /vz resides? I need something like partion, device, etc... Its size.
Can you give
# df /vz/
command and post output here, please.

Also kernel version please!
Thanks.

You are using reiserfs on /vz partion.
It seems that for some reasons statfs call in that system fails...

We highly DON'T recommend to use openvz on reiserfs.

One more thing, that can help:
try to turn disk quota off. Stop all VEs and set
DISK_QUOTA to "no" in /etc/vz/vz.conf.
Start VEs and try to use sendmail. Maybe it'll help.
