Hello, I've been using Cyrus IMAP since the begining of this year and so far its been working great. I am currently running 2.1.11 on RedHat 8.0 (with all the latest security updates).
Lately I'm finding that the various cyrus processes go to "sleep" and never wake up. As a result sendmail is unable to deliver its mail to cyrus. This has happened 3 times in the last 48 hours. When this happens users can connect to pop but not IMAP, but again no new mail gets delivered from the MTA. If I restart Cyrus it now takes over an hour to fully start. It spends this time: converting db files, ctl_cyrusdb -r, and ctl_deliver -r. While these are running users cannot connect to imap or pop. The cyrus processes use 97% CPU on a pretty beefy machine for their entire duration. When it completes they can connect to both just fine and I can force sendmail to deliver all the mail no problem. However, this problem repeats just a few hours late. I've checked and all my partitions have plenty of space.... So I'm not really sure where to go with this. The following log lines seemed interesting: startup ====== Aug 12 20:38:39 igaming1 ctl_cyrusdb[7485]: recovering cyrus databases Aug 12 21:04:46 igaming1 ctl_cyrusdb[7485]: DBERROR db4: Recovery function for LSN 11 10312588 failed Aug 12 21:04:47 igaming1 ctl_cyrusdb[7485]: DBERROR: dbenv->open '/var/lib/imap/db' failed: No such process Aug 12 21:04:47 igaming1 ctl_cyrusdb[7485]: DBERROR: init /var/lib/imap/db: cyrusdb error Aug 12 21:04:48 igaming1 ctl_cyrusdb[7485]: done recovering cyrus databases Aug 12 21:04:48 igaming1 master[7483]: process 7485 exited, status 1 Aug 12 21:04:48 igaming1 master[8076]: about to exec /usr/libexec/cyrus/ctl_mboxlist Aug 12 21:04:48 igaming1 ctl_mboxlist[8076]: running mboxlist recovery Aug 12 21:04:48 igaming1 ctl_mboxlist[8076]: done running mboxlist recovery Aug 12 21:04:48 igaming1 master[8077]: about to exec /usr/libexec/cyrus/ctl_deliver Aug 12 21:30:10 igaming1 ctl_deliver[8077]: DBERROR db4: Recovery function for LSN 11 10312588 failed Aug 12 21:30:10 igaming1 ctl_deliver[8077]: DBERROR: dbenv->open '/var/lib/imap/db' failed: No such process Aug 12 21:30:10 igaming1 ctl_deliver[8077]: DBERROR: init /var/lib/imap/db: cyrusdb error Aug 12 21:30:10 igaming1 master[7483]: process 8077 exited, status 1 Aug 12 21:30:10 igaming1 master[7483]: ready for work Aug 12 21:30:10 igaming1 master[8356]: about to exec /usr/libexec/cyrus/ctl_mboxlist Aug 12 21:30:10 igaming1 ctl_mboxlist[8356]: checkpointing mboxlist Aug 12 21:30:10 igaming1 master[8357]: about to exec /usr/libexec/cyrus/imapd Aug 12 21:30:10 igaming1 imap[8357]: executed Aug 12 21:30:10 igaming1 master[8358]: about to exec /usr/libexec/cyrus/imapd Aug 12 21:30:10 igaming1 imaps[8358]: executed Aug 12 21:30:10 igaming1 master[8359]: about to exec /usr/libexec/cyrus/pop3d Aug 12 21:30:10 igaming1 imapd[8357]: skiplist: recovered /var/lib/imap/mailboxes.db (143 records, 14636 bytes) in 0 seconds After this it spawns imap / pop3 processes and starts showing connections from users. Are my cyrus db's corrupt? I've run reconstruct the mailboxes but this doesnt seem to change anything. I appreciate any suggestions, advice, etc. Thanks, Ilan Rabinovitch [EMAIL PROTECTED] E-MAIL The Southern California Llnux Expo: "Bringing businesses, academic institutions and the Linux community together in a way that no other conference does!" -- http://www.socallinuxexpo.org
