  • error posting to fido

    From bbsing@VERT/LUNAROUT to All on Tuesday, September 29, 2026 21:08:03
    Has anyone seen an error like this, and if so what to do about it?

    Mon Sep 28 21:29:23 2026 master/17e095ff7
    term Node 1 <bbsing> !ERROR 2 (No such file or directory) in postmsg.cpp line 32
    5 (postmsg) writing "/sbbs/data/subs/fidonet_classic_computer" access=-206 info=
    smb_new_msghdr index file length (9600), expected (9560)

    When I try to post I get an error. then when I look at the error log via ;err above is what I see.

    I don't really understand how to resolve what might be corrupted message data. BBsing, Sysop of Lunar Outpost, lunarout.sycnhro.net
