Hello
A quick quote I want to have people keep in mind from the epoll manpage
'man epoll'
tl;dr epool is for compatibility purposes it is not intended as a full
features replacement. Please do not use it if possible. It works but
there will be dragons.
```
The epoll facility is implemented for purposes of offering
compatibility to and portability of Linux-borne applications; native
applications should continue to prefer using event ports via the
port_create(3C), port_associate(3C) and port_getn(3C)
interfaces. In
particular, use of epoll in a multithreaded environment is
fraught with
peril; even when using EPOLLONESHOT for one-shot events, there
are race
conditions with respect to close(2) that are unresolvable. (For
more
details, see the aborted effort in Linux to resolve this via the
proposed EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE operation.) The event port facility
-- like
the BSD kqueue facility that inspired it -- is designed to deal with
such issues via explicit event source dissociation.
```
Greetings

Apples and apples can be different :-)
This is quite possible. I should mention that I am running Dovecot in a
zone. I am not quite sure if I am actually using chroot.
Have a nice day !
P.S. After several weeks of cloudy misty weather the sun is back again
here in Germany. Welcome!!
Nice to hear.
Bob
