   Hello All!   
      
   For the last few weeks I am having problems with mbmsg p ka and any    
   combination   
   in that it just locks up processing for 10 minutes before exiting so that the   
   message bases are locked for the same time period.   
      
   The only solution I can think off is to delete all areas and let the system   
   recreate and use them.   
      
   I should point out that running 0.22 Create site Documents works as normal.   
      
   One trick could have been converting all to msg format but mbse does not   
   support msg for as all has to be JAM and there is not much about that I can   
   find to help.   
      
   Unless someone has a tool that will examine all of them looking for the    
   problem   
   (without locking up) and fixing them or deleting bad one's I have no choice   
   but to clear the lot down.   
      
   Another issue is with some file areas that having removed al connected systems   
   in all related areas to specific file groups I cannot delete them using    
   options   
   ACtive 12 and Deleted 13, without it reporting nn nodes and/or 0 tic areas   
   connected.  Is this a problem with the fgroups.data and/or fareas.data ?   
      
   There is no tools that will fix up these bad areas for files or mail unless   
   some one knows differently.   
      
   I was trying to clear down some dead file groups and areas.   
      
   If I have run mbmsg pa k and even terminated the process by exiting the   
   terminal program running it (I cannot do a ctl/c or z to terminate) and    
   running   
   mbsetup it reports a busy system for many minutes depite these processes being   
   terminated and I cannot a semafore that is active i.e., only :   
      
   var/run/mbtask   
      
   var/sema/is_inet   
   var/sema/mbtask.lock   
      
      
      
      
      
   Any one with such tools ?
