Package: exim4
Version: 4.34-6
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

exim4 is giving 452 errors to all clients.  From its log:

2004-11-07 22:30:33 spool directory space check failed: space=0
inodes=4096

Yet:

erwin:/etc/exim4# df -h /var/spool/exim4
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hdc5             1.2G  905M  240M  80% /var
erwin:/etc/exim4# df -i /var/spool/exim4
Filesystem            Inodes   IUsed   IFree IUse% Mounted on
/dev/hdc5                  0       0       0    -  /var

This is a reiser FS.

This makes Exim completely unusable on this system, since it absolutely
refuses to store any new mail.

Enabling debugging showed:

22:42:43 19164 SMTP<< MAIL FROM:<jgoerzen@complete.org> SIZE=1667
22:42:43 19164 ---0 Rst 0x1200e1618    **      smtp_in.c  785 32832
22:42:43 19164 ---0 Get 0x1200e1618    24        parse.c  625
22:42:43 19164 spool directory /var/spool/exim4 space = 0 blocks; inodes
= 4096; check_space = 0K (0 blocks); inodes = 0; msg_size = 6667 (1
blocks)
22:42:43 19164 LOG: MAIN
22:42:43 19164   spool directory space check failed: space=0 inodes=4096
22:42:43 19164 SMTP>> 452 Space shortage, please try later

So you can see there is an issue.

This may be of interest, from Python:

s.statvfs('/var/spool/exim4')
>>> x.f_bavail
343762L
>>> x.f_bfree
343762L
>>> x.f_blocks
509885L
>>> x.f_bsize
4096
>>> x.f_favail
2760788L
>>> x.f_ffree
2760788L
>>> x.f_files
2770848L
>>> x.f_flag
0
>>> x.f_frsize
4096

So, you can see statvfs() is not at fault here.

Closes: 280213 280647 281840
Changes: 
 exim4 (4.34-8) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   * The real-life-takes-its-toll-release.
   * Use statvsf() instead of statfs(), fixing complete breakage on
     alpha/ReiserFS (Closes: #280213). Thanks to John Goerzen for finding and
     debugging this.
   * Use getconf LFS_CFLAGS instead of hardcoding -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 to
     prevent similar bugs.
   * Translation updates:
     - tr (Turkish) by Recai Oktas (Closes: #281840)
   * new patch 63_nomorecrashongnutlserror pulled from 4.40: "If a server
     dropped the connection unexpectedly when an Exim client was using GnuTLS
     and trying to read a response, the client delivery process crashed while
     trying to generate an error log message." (Closes: #280647)
