Hi,

We're running Cyrus on a RedHat Linux 6.2 box.  The version of Cyrus 
installed is 1.6.19.  This is built with the Berkeley database version 
3.1.17.

We have a small number of users (approximately 40) and relatively large 
amount of disk space, 8 GB devoted entirely to the mailstore with over 6 GB 
free.  One of our users is having difficulty receiving his mail.  Some 
messages to him fail with the error "System I/O error No space left on 
device."

Because we have plenty of disk space available (and most people here still 
use pop rather than imap) we haven't set any quotas on our users.  Can 
anyone suggest what might be the actual source of this error message?  I'm 
concerned that it might be related to the size of his cyrus.cache file.

ls -l cyrus.cache
-rw-------    1 cyrus    mail       779840 Jan 20 13:55 cyrus.cache

Is there any sort of fundamental limit on the size of this file?  If I 
attempt to run reconstruct on his mailboxes, I get the same error message 
as returned by deliver, but only for the top level mailbox with this large 
cache file.

Does anyone recognize this pattern of errors?
