Since it was the middle of the day, I quickly put 2.2.5 back in place. The 2.2.5 version seems stable at the moment.
The weird thing is that I haven't seen the System I/O, too many files or signaled to death by 11 messages after I played around with the quota_db setting last night. I went from quotalegacy to skiplist then back to quotalegacy.
When upgrading from 2.0.x (2.0.16 in my case) was it a requirement to run quota -f user to rebuild that? I just copied the /var/imap/quota structure over from the old server, set "quota_db: quotalegacy" in /etc/imapd.conf, but didn't run the quota -f command. When I was playing last night and gave up on skiplist for quota_db, I created an empty /var/imap/quota structure (with the requisite a thru z subdirectories) and started imap. Then, I shutdown imap and copied over the quota files from the old system before restarting. After that, I think everything has been fine. I'm running "quota -f user" now and keeping my fingers crossed.

I want to say that it takes a little while since I tried a couple things that seemed to work, but the errors creep back in after a bit. I recompiled with gcc instead of Sun's cc, which I thought fixed the problem, but it didn't.
Off hand, could you tell whether the memory leak would most likely be in the cyrus code or in the underlying libraries. I'll start looking for Solaris patches. Suggestion what library/subsystem I should be targeting?
My guess would be its a problem in the Cyrus code, specifically the rewritten quota code. Do you have code that is creating a lot of users and setting a new quota on them? I just fixed a bug specifically for this problem.
Thanks for the reply, I've been pulling spending many hours ignoring my family trying to the this thing stable. I may try to go back to Solaris 8 if I can't get it working by the end of the week.
Did this problem start with 2.2.5 or with Solaris 9, or did you upgrade both at the same time? Does 2.2.3 work on Solaris 9?

I'm having all kinds of problems with Cyrus IMAP 2.2.5 on Solaris 9. System I/O errors, imap processing dying, IOERRORs.
Does anyone have suggestions on what could be the cause? Has anyone gotten version 2.2.5 working on Solaris (SPARC) 9?

Looks like a file descriptor leak, but I haven't seen this myself. Does this happen immediately when you start up the master process, or does it take a while?
