Spam Assassin error logged when running cron task: /usr/lib/sa/sa2 -A
Hello guys. I started receiving this error a couple days ago (2014/01/08)
BTW, I checked this:
There are a bunch of numbered files with sequential date but this one is strange. It should have date 12/27/2013, but it's not. How can I delete it? And what are those group/user id's? should I be worried? are filesystem errors? how can I be sure? Thanks in advance! Update: googling further I found that the "sa" from /usr/lib/sa/sa2 is not from SpamAssassin. Actually is sar, instead.

This has nothing to do with spam assassin or cPanel. sar is System Activity Report and comes with package sysstat. 0 -
Nevertheless, that weird file is impossible to delete. May be a disk problem? 0 -
Hello :) The error message you provided indicates possible disk corruption. You can try reviewing /var/log/dmesg or /var/log/messages for additional information, or consult with your provider to see if running FSCK (File System Check) at boot time would be beneficial. Thank you. 0 -
Hello Michael, thanks for confirming my fears (disk problems). The /var/log/dmesg file appears with zero size. What should I look for in /var/log/messages? I will ask for a FSCK to my VPS provider... 0 -
It's more so /var/log/dmesg that you should pay attention to, however you can sometimes find "status timeout" messages in /var/log/messages that can indicate a failing hard drive. It's better to have your data center or system administrator investigate this to determine the specific cause of the problem. Thank you. 0 -
Yep, I did, and they will schedule a FSCK in a nightly moment. Thank you! 0
