[Mailman-Users] Site list is missing: mailman

[gnugo]

Hi

I tried the following
[root at h1 ~]# /usr/lib/mailman/bin/newlist mailman
[...]
List already exists: mailman

[root at h1 ~]# /usr/lib/mailman/bin/rmlist mailman
Not removing archives.  Reinvoke with -a to remove them.
Removing list info

[root at h1 ~]# /usr/lib/mailman/bin/newlist mailman
Enter the email of the person running the list: xxxx at xxx.xx
Initial mailman password:

[root at h1 ~]#  /usr/lib/mailman/bin/mailmanctl start

     fp = open(dbfile)

/irafs0/mailman/lists/mailman/config.pck

[root at h1 ~]# chown mailman /irafs0/mailman/lists/mailman/config.pck

[root at h1 ~]#  /usr/lib/mailman/bin/mailmanctl start
Site list is missing: mailman

I tried the same on a normal filesystem (ext4) and all went well, so I'm 
suspecting that the issue is related to some locking problem.
