After wiping the eggs from my face I had a look at the strace
both from the good run and the bad.
Where the good does a few things like
----------
open("/etc/mail/access.db", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC, 0644) = 5
shmat(5, 0x242, 0x2) = ?
stat64("/etc/mail/access.db", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=0, ...}) = 0
brk(0x805b000) = 0x805b000
fstat64(5, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=0, ...}) = 0
lseek(5, 0, SEEK_SET) = 0
write(5, "\0\6\25a\0\0\0\2\0\0\4\322\0\0\20\0\0\0\0\f\0\0\1\0\0\0"..., 260) =
260
lseek(5, 12288, SEEK_SET) = 12288

execution on the xfs partition is full of,
-------
lseek(5, 786432, SEEK_SET) = 786432
write(5, "\0\0\372\377\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 65536)
= 65536
lseek(5, 131072, SEEK_SET) = 131072
write(5, "\2\0\1\20\0\0\366\377\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 65536)
= 65536
lseek(5, 524288, SEEK_SET) = 524288
write(5, "\4\0\367\377\3\0\3\20\362\377\344\377\362\377\0\0\0\0\0"..., 65536)
= 65536
lseek(5, 655360, SEEK_SET) = 655360
write(5, "\0\0\372\377\0\0\366\377\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 65536)

close to 20000 lines of it. I have to go back and figure out why my access.db
got corrupt.
The difference between the dumps seems to be:
lseek(5, 0, SEEK_SET) = 0
write(5, "\0\6\25a\0\0\0\2\0\0\4\322\0\0\20\0\0\0\0\f\0\0\1\0\0\0"..., 260) =
260
lseek(5, 12288, SEEK_SET) = 12288
in the good dump and
lseek(5, 0, SEEK_SET) = 0
write(5, "\0\6\25a\0\0\0\2\0\0\4\322\0\1\0\0\0\0\0\20\0\0\1\0\0\0"..., 260) =
260
lseek(5, 196608, SEEK_SET) = 196608
Which b.t.w. reminds me that /etc/hosts was full of NULL yesterday too. May
be the same problem. I'll keep looking for clues.
