Thanks to everyone for their information... I was keying in on the deliver.db because when we initially converted to cyrus this database was a killer. I turned it off and things have been better. That is until the "student test load" returned. Now it looks like the mailboxes.db file is the gotcha. In looking at the performance notes.. I knew there were two more items to lookat. tmpfs for /var/imap/proc and movin the /var/imap directory to a disk to itself. Those are now done and hopefully it will solve the problems we were having because I cannot throw any more hardware at it.
Thanks again for list's help. -brian --------------- >> I noticed something today.... >> I have imapd.conf: duplicatesuppression: no >> but I still have a /var/imap/deliver.db and it's time stamp indicated >> that it is still being accessed/written to. >> lsof of the lmtp process shows it is also accessed. > > I think "duplicatesupression" is just one consumer of that db.
