IOERROR Cannot create anymore mailboxes

[Boyle, Bernadette]

Hello,

 

I have a terrible problem at the moment at the university with new students not being able to receive mail because I cannot create any more accounts.

 

I am currently running cyrus-imapd-2.0.17. However I cannot create any more mailboxes.

 

I receive the following error when trying to create new accounts ...

 

Sep 15 19:05:16 sparrow imapd[7843]: [ID 721126 local6.error] IOERROR: creating directory /var/spool/cyrus1/user/jsnadd11: Too many links
Sep 15 19:05:16 sparrow imapd[7843]: [ID 721126 local6.error] IOERROR: creating directory /var/spool/cyrus1/user/jtarra10: Too many links
Sep 15 19:05:16 sparrow imapd[7843]: [ID 721126 local6.error] IOERROR: creating directory /var/spool/cyrus1/user/jvargh12: Too many links

Sep 15 19:05:16 sparrow imapd[7843]: [ID 721126 local6.error] IOERROR: creating directory /var/spool/cyrus1/user/jwatso26: Too many links
 .... and so it goes on

 

I currently have 32,765 directories in this account and it seems like perhaps I have reached the quota. Is there anyway to stop this?

 

Warm Regards
