Hi All,
Just a quick update as to how my day has been going...
Yesterday, I connected to a few more message echos in another network. I also get usenet groups from this hub. Well, I forgot that Synchronet doesn't have the option for a rescan only of the new echos. I ended up received a full rescan, which consisted of about 1.3 million messages...
I figured, no problem. Mystic will purge the old ones, and bring the message base numbers back down to how I have them set, instead of having over 50,000 messages in a base. I awoke this morning, to my maintenance having errored out, with runtime error 216.
Apparantly, I had some corrupt files in my JAM message bases, as Mystic stated there were only 2500 messages, but when I went into the base, it showed 15 thousand in there. I'm guessing the headers were not matching the message bodies, and that was causing the problem.
I ended up just deleting the problem bases, which was about 15 or so, and everything seems to be running smoothly now.
Of course when I first noticed the error, I decided a reboot of Win10 wouldn't be a bad idea. Microshaft decided that my system needed to be updated upon reboot, so that process took about 2 hours...
So, all in all, I haven't gotten anything accomplished today that I had planned... I guess now I will just fire up the grill and have a steak. ;)
... Computers also eliminate spare time.
