Our locking issues have revisited us. We are running cyrus 2.1.9 on a Solaris 8 system using fcntl and skiplist (except flat for subscriptions).
Our MTA (pmdf) is unable to deliver mail to a local user via lmtp. Except for this particular user cyrus is doing its thing just as expected. The stage. directory for this user's partition is as follows and all files are related to delivery attempts to this user: -rw------- 1 cyrus mail 3101 Nov 8 09:37 14279-1036766256 -rw------- 1 cyrus mail 21476 Nov 8 07:05 14521-1036757103 -rw------- 1 cyrus mail 21476 Nov 8 08:00 20731-1036760410 Following is the stack for the three processes listed above (as reported by the Solaris pstack command): 14279: lmtpd -a ff098958 fcntl (b, 7, ffbe9440) ff092f00 s_fcntl (b, 7, 7, ffbe9440, b, 58d5c) + 1ec 00058d5c lock_reopen (b, ffbe9570, ffbe94e8, ffbe94e4, e393e, ffbe9470) + 4c 00035988 mailbox_lock_header (ffbeb658, 0, ffbeb658, 7efefeff, 81010100, ff0000) + cc 00032d34 append_setup (0, ffbea658, 0, 0, 0, 0) + 54 0002c284 deliver_mailbox (0, 1b7de8, c1d, 0, 0, 0) + 124 0002c7fc deliver (1b32d0, 0, 0, 0, ffffefcc, ffbecbe8) + 410 0002f6b0 lmtpmode (1841e0, 1a8530, 1a8588, 1a8e70, 1a3d78, e10d8) + d2c 0002ab8c service_main (2, ffbefd7c, ffbefd88, ff1f8000, 8, 2a5ac) + b8 0002a6f4 main (184000, ffbefd7c, ffbefd88, 2, e0c00, 0) + 618 00029c1c _start (0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0) + 5c 20731: lmtpd -a ff098958 fcntl (b, 7, ffbe9440) ff092f00 s_fcntl (b, 7, 7, ffbe9440, b, 58d5c) + 1ec 00058d5c lock_reopen (b, ffbe9570, ffbe94e8, ffbe94e4, e393e, ffbe9470) + 4c 00035988 mailbox_lock_header (ffbeb658, 0, ffbeb658, 7efefeff, 81010100, ff0000) + cc 00032d34 append_setup (0, ffbea658, 0, 0, 0, 0) + 54 0002c284 deliver_mailbox (0, 1a8530, 53e4, 0, 0, 0) + 124 0002c7fc deliver (1b22c8, 0, 0, 0, ffffefcc, ffbecbe8) + 410 0002f6b0 lmtpmode (1841e0, 1c4b80, 1c4bd8, 1a93f0, 1a3d78, e10d8) + d2c 0002ab8c service_main (2, ffbefd7c, ffbefd88, 2, 0, 2a5ac) + b8 0002a6f4 main (184000, ffbefd7c, ffbefd88, 2, e0c00, 0) + 618 00029c1c _start (0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0) + 5c 14521: lmtpd -a ff098958 fcntl (b, 7, ffbe9440) ff092f00 s_fcntl (b, 7, 7, ffbe9440, b, 58d5c) + 1ec 00058d5c lock_reopen (b, ffbe9570, ffbe94e8, ffbe94e4, e393e, ffbe9470) + 4c 00035988 mailbox_lock_header (ffbeb658, 0, ffbeb658, 7efefeff, 81010100, ff0000) + cc 00032d34 append_setup (0, ffbea658, 0, 0, 0, 0) + 54 0002c284 deliver_mailbox (0, 1c06a8, 53e4, 0, 0, 0) + 124 0002c7fc deliver (1b22c8, 0, 0, 0, ffffefcc, ffbecbe8) + 410 0002f6b0 lmtpmode (1841e0, 1c15e0, 1c1638, 1a8eb0, 1a3d78, e10d8) + d2c 0002ab8c service_main (2, ffbefd7c, ffbefd88, 2, 0, 2a5ac) + b8 0002a6f4 main (184000, ffbefd7c, ffbefd88, 2, e0c00, 0) + 618 00029c1c _start (0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0) + 5c There is one imapd (according to the cyrus proc/) for this user.
