Hello, i sync with imapsync from an archiopteryx-server to an dovecot-server, for testing until now. The dovecot is inside an VM. storage for mail is on an nfs-share, indexes are local. What i now see, is, on large folder( 58000 messages and more) the load on the imap-process is very high, and slowdown the transferprocess. Is there something, I can do. Whats cause the high load ind the

Hi out there, we have detected a bug in Samba-2.2.5, full details are in the attached files, but apparently the follwing snippet is the most important part of it: [common] comment = Common Tree Rev 1.3 path = /var/samba/common/%a msdfs root = true read only = no public = no browseable = yes

Hi, I have a very large inbox (~146K mails) in Maildir format and dovecot seems to spend a lot of time rescanning the directory, especially when the server is loaded. I'm not sure whether this is triggered by Thunderbird or done regularly, but it takes longer when the server is loaded, so sometimes it seems that it is scanning continuously. Since it takes around 2000 getdents64() syscalls to

Hi all! I have upgraded Dovecot 0.99.11 installation that's worked with LDAP to Dovecot 1.0-test52 and I can't get LDAP to work. I noticed the /etc/dovecot.conf is slightly different, so I have adjusted changes. If I use the standard auth (passw & pam) everything works fine, however when I user ldap for auth Dovecot starts but then dies: dovecot: Nov 26 14:14:36 Error: Auth process

Experts, (Now that I am able to run imap...) Here's what I am seeing with imap, it seems to die in the latest nightly.

Hi I just tried to run the convert plugin as described at http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Convert (except with mail_location = maildir:~/Mail) It fails with an error message: Eopen(/.temp.falcon.endbracket.net.18618.8d5e0a038da6cf06) failed: Permission denied Error: imap dump-capability process returned 89 It looks like Dovecot execs /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap, which drops root privileges

(please reply on-list, so everybody can comment/help) Matt, thanks for the details, but apart from mount-option tuning and dir_index (which you've already enabled), I dunno why ls(1) would take *hours* to stat ~1M files... out of curiosity: are you able to try a newer kernel? does it change anything? Christian. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- The dir_index was enabled during

Hello Ervin, The in-memory cache lookup could be added back into samba-4.1.6 by applying the attached patch, if it could be compiled with Louis how-to steps, perhaps got the chance to make U14.04 be stayed on samba-4. Here is my test, the test-bench is uploading 5000 files and each one is 1MB. The attached patch could improve 15% at case B). Case A) Original samba-4.1.6 will go through

Hi, I'm running RC19 on a Solaris 10 SPARC box. It seems that whenever I open an e-mail in any folder via IMAP, dovecot appears to scan every other folder in the Maildir. A truss reveals that it is lstat-ing every e-mail in every directory. I'm sorry I am sending only a fragment of the truss, it's really too long... but is this behaviour expected? Cheers, Tan Shao Yi

Hi guys, I'm having a problem rsyncing between two directories on local disk. I wish to sync the local directory /local/CA/eTrustDirectory/dxserver/ldif to the other local directory /local/CA/archive.

Hello list, I have a strange problem with dovecot and quota. The error message is not obvious... After a couple of seconds when I try to start dovceot, I get this: root at taleira:~# /etc/init.d/dovecot start Alarm clock If I uncomment the "imap_quota and quota" in dovecot.conf everything seem to work fine: protocol imap { listen = *:143 ssl_listen = *:993 # problem pa

Hi Jones, many thanks again four your help and your time. Thanks for the patch too - I'll check it up. On my Ubuntu, there is a Samba 4.1.6. I'll install the samba source package, and will try to apply the patch, then - I hope - the package will be compiled as well. I'll notify to you about the result. (First, I need to upgrade that server.) Thanks again, Ervin On Thu, Apr

I was digging through some of the archives and ran into someone who was having the same problem, but for completely different reasons....i think. dovecot: Nov 02 07:58:51 Info: Dovecot starting up dovecot: Nov 02 07:58:52 Error: Auth process died too early - shutting down dovecot: Nov 02 07:58:52 Error: child 27673 (login) killed with signal 11 dovecot: Nov 02 07:58:52 Error: child 27672 (login)

We are currently experiencing a very huge perfomance drop on our zfs storage server. We have 2 pools, pool 1 stor is a raidz out of 7 iscsi nodes, home is a local mirror pool. Recently we had some issues with one of the storagenodes, because of that the pool was degraded. Since we did not succeed in bringing this storagenode back online (on zfs level) we upgraded our nashead from opensolaris b57

Apologies if this is a FAQ. We are saddled with some directories full of production image files that number in the hundreds of thousands to the millions. (Yes, I know this is bad.) They reside on a couple of Win 2003 boxes that are flaky and unreliable. I was hoping to copy them over to a Linux box running samba but it is taking forever. A strace on the smbd process receiving the files

Hi. I'm running Samba 2.2.2 and Linux 2.4.7 on a dual PPro-200/256KB server. The relevant NIC is an Intel EtherExpress PRO/100+. The problem I'm having is that certain programs will swamp the server; the load will spike immediately to 50% (i.e., 100% on one CPU) and performance will, naturally, bite. Having another active connection to the server at the same time causes _monster_

I have a big problem. I've looked at a bunch of documentation, both for Windows 2000/NT4, and Samba, and I have yet to find a solution. Anyway, here's the problem. We have a Unix File Server with ~2.6tb of online storage, performance is great over NFS to other Unix machines. However, using Samba, I get terrible performance. Samba ends up eating almost an entire processor by itself
