What filesystem type? do a df -i ? sounds like you ran out of inodes maybe...or hit some sort of limit with the number of directories.

Also need other details like what OS.

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:

 .... 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

Bernadette Boyle
