Dear list, As I've discovered only a few results on google, which didn't clearify the situation, I hope for your advice.
Lines as the following one are quite common for some mailboxes on my system and with regard to [1] I don't spend much attention: Dec 5 14:13:11 hostname cyrus/lmtpd[14434]: lock_reopen: blocked, sleeping for 1 on interval 1 (15, /var/lib/cyrus/quota/t/user.thorsten) Two days ago suddenly the interval increased (only for this mailbox): Dec 5 13:07:48 hostname cyrus/imapd[698]: lock_reopen: blocked, sleeping for 9 on interval 3 (13, /var/lib/cyrus/quota/c/user.carsten) [...] Dec 5 13:08:11 hostname cyrus/imapd[12504]: lock_reopen: blocked, sleeping for 49 on interval 7 (17, /var/spool/cyrus/mail/c/user/carsten/Sent/cyrus.header) [.. Leading to ..] Dec 5 13:11:25 hostname cyrus/imapd[12504]: IOERROR: locking_timeout header for user.carsten.Sent: Resource temporarily unavailable Delivery of mails to cyrus via lmtp didn't work anymore. As I couldn't spot the actual problem, I restarted cyrus and everything runs fine again. The used version of cyrus is still 2.1.15 backported to Debian Woody. Thanks for any hints in advance!
