Greetings

I had several of these on my primary MX this weekend and one just
popped up. Can someone explain where this Insufficient system storage
is ?
both mail queues are empty, and DF shows < 20% on the reporting system.

greetings

thanks for the reply

queue_minfree = 0

this is default on all my systems.

MX1
/dev/disk1s3 77G 51G 26G 66% /

MX2
/dev/disk0s3 234G 46G 187G 20% /


here is another example;

mx2 picks up and sends it to mx1 for AV scan. i can see MX1 has a
smaller drive, but it's just amavis scanning and relay. No real big
space required. System seems to be fine, but these errors are eluding
me.
any insight would be helpful.
postconf available if need be,.

Can you show the partitioning of these systems?

It may be worthwhile to run the Postfix fsspace test program.

- Download any Postfix source code that compiles on your system.

- cd into the source tree, then execute the following commands:

make makefiles
cd src/util
make fsspace
./fsspace /var/spool/postfix

and report if the numbers look wrong.

Postfix uses the fsspace routine to determine the amount of
free space in the queue file system.
