[Dovecot] Ring SYNC appears to have got lost, resending after upgrade

Hi @all,

on Saturday I upgraded two dovecot servers from squeeze to wheezy and
dovecot from 2.1.x to 2.2.5 (compiled from sources). After the upgrade
everything worked fine at first.

On Sunday Morning I recognized these errors (they occured after a reload 
for logging purpose on midnight) on one server:

director: Error: Ring SYNC appears to have got lost, resending

After reloading/restarting both dovecot services the error occured on
both servers. After some research I deleted some "zlib"-File which
isn't needed anymore in dovecot 2.2.x and reinstalled dovecot. The
error message disappeared.

Today the error occured again (after the reload on midnight) and again
on one node only until reloading/restarting the other node too.
However, there is an additional error message:

Sep 09 10:27:07 director: Error: Ring SYNC appears to have got lost, 
resending
Sep 09 10:27:10 director: Panic: file login-connection.c: line 88 
(login_host_callback): assertion failed: (strncmp(request->line,
"OK\t",
3) == 0)


Any ideas?

Patrick

I had the same issue (CentOS 6.4 upgraded with third-party RPMs) on 
Thu/Fri, and I asked Timo about it in IRC. Apparently a 2.2.6 release 
is due soon. He gave me two hg links claimed to fix it:

http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.2/rev/f7a37b169f4a 
http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.2/rev/9531ec8afe8b

However I did have the lost ring SYNC error recur after the cluster 
was upgraded to the RPM packages currently in Dovecot's EE repo 
(non-free, pay for access) which does include these fixes.

Restart of all director instances worked for me. Actually I stopped 
all, then started all.

So far so good. We're going to go live with this cluster soon, I 
hope.
