I'm debugging that independently. > (SELinux is also disabled for clamav, another item to debug.) This is something I am having problems with using USB2 connected external storage. The USB filesystems are not initialized when it is time for mount ... therefore I need to do a noauto in /etc/fstab and mount them later in the boot process. This caused httpd to not start (as there was a directory used as the DocumentRoot for a Virtual Machine on the USB drive). Is it possible that you are mounting a filesystem after the postfix tries to start ... and it is available after startup but not at init.d/postfix start time? -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
