similar to: 1.0alpha1: corrupted cache file complaints?

Help... Dovecot 1.0alpha1 hung up today with nothing working and the following spewing to my syslog: pipe() failed: Too many open files My setup: Solaris 9, just using imap, mbox format. The various "max" settings in dovecot.conf use the defaults. Suggestions on what to change in fovecot.conf to keep this from happening? Jeff Earickson Colby College

Hi, Today's core dump from 1.0alpha1 came from a syslog message of: IMAP(user): pool_data_stack_realloc(): stack frame changed gdb info on the resulting core dump attached. Question: how many people are building/using dovecot 1.0alpha1 with gcc 4.0.1 versus gcc 3.4.x? I am wondering if these issues come from the compiler instead of dovecot itself? Jeff Earickson Colby College

Timo, Output of gdb session on the core file attached. This one only produced the following syslog: IMAP(user): UIDs broken with partial sync in mbox file /var/mail/r/user with no assert. Setup: Solaris 9, gcc 4.0.1 for dovecot build.

Timo, The dovecot.conf file comments talk about login_process_per_user but this variable does not appear in the file. Do you mean login_process_per_connection instead? Jeff Earickson Colby College

Help! I just noticed this error this morning, we have been getting a lot of these in rc28 and rc29, not in rc27 or before: Apr 6 07:22:52 karst dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.error] IMAP(jaearick): mbox file /var/mail/j/jaearick was modified while we were syncing, check your locking settings Pine coughed up an internal error, no core dump, and dovecot basically doubled the size of my mailbox by

Timo, I saw a couple of these cores over the weekend. The syslog says: May 21 19:04:48 emerald dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.error] IMAP(user): Corrupted index cache file /home/students/s/user/.imap/sent-mail-apr-2004/dovecot.index.cache: indexid changed With a resulting core file from imap at this time. I also discovered a remaining lock file on the person's imap file: -rw------- 1 user

Hi, I just upgraded from test80 to 1.0alpha1. I wanted to try something new on the lock_method, so I set: lock_method = fcntl, dotlock I got syslog complaints like: IMAP(username): Unknown lock_method: fcntl, dotlock Can one specify multiple file locking mechanisms? If so, what is the syntax (and can the syntax be shown in the comments of the .conf file)? Jeff Earickson Colby College

Seen this error a few times from dovecot-1.1.14, Mac OS X, 64-bit Intel. NFS may have been used. Panic: IMAP(user): file mail-index-sync-update.c: line 843 (mail_index_sync_map): assertion failed: (map->hdr.indexid == index- >indexid || map->hdr.indexid == 0) Two different backtraces to this error are: 0 libSystem.B.dylib 0x00007fff87b775ea __kill + 10 1

As of test-60 and test-61, running Squirrelmail 1.5.1[cvs] on FreeBSD 5.3-STABLE, messages are not marked as read after they are read. If I switch back to test-59, it works normally. When switching back to test-59, with log_path = /var/log/dovelog dovelog shows: dovecot: Jan 14 11:43:38 Error: IMAP(kimc): Corrupted index cache file /home/kimc/Maildir/dovecot.index.cache: indexid changed

Hi, I've been running 1.0alpha1 in production since August 18, and got my first assert and core yesterday. Otherwise it has been running flawlessly. My setup: Sun E220R, Solaris 9, compiled dovecot with gcc 4.0.1, configured dovecot like so: #!/usr/bin/sh VERSION=1.0-alpha1 CC=gcc CFLAGS="-g -O" CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/openssl/include LDFLAGS=-L/opt/openssl/lib \ ./configure

Should I be concerned about these errors? imap(msun): Jun 13 13:21:38 Error: Error indexing mbox file /home/msun/mail/Deleted Messages: LF not found where expected imap(msun): Jun 13 13:39:08 Error: Corrupted binary tree for index /home/msun/mail/.imap/INBOX/.imap.index: lookup returned index outside range (1 >= 0) imap(msun): Jun 13 13:44:07 Error: IndexID mismatch for binary tree file

Hi, Since installing 1.0alpha3 this morning, I've seen this syslog complaint a few times. Anything to worry about? A "server too busy" issue? imap(user): fcntl() failed with mbox file /var/mail/user: Resource temporarily unavailable Jeff Earickson Colby College

Hi - We tried to access a dovecot-0.99.10.7 IMAPS server with a Blackberry 7230. The Blackberry was on loan so we don't have much access to it for testing. We got the following in our logs: Jul 27 12:30:27 xserv imap-login: Login: testuser [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] Jul 27 12:30:27 xserv imap(testuser): IndexID mismatch for binary tree file /home/testuser/mail//.imap/INBOX/.imap.index.tree Jul 27

Same as reported before: Assert: IMAP(user): file mbox-sync-update.c: line 442 (mbox_sync_update_header_from): assertion failed: (ctx->mail.uid == 0 || ctx->mail.uid_broken || ctx->mail.uid == mail->uid) Setup: 1.0alpha1 on Solaris 9, built with gcc 4.0.1 Debug output of the core is attached.

Hi, I saw a new assert and core dump today in 1.0alpha1. Setup is Solaris 9, dovecot built with gcc 4.0.1, running as imap server for mbox format. The syslog said: IMAP(user): file message-body-search.c: line 393 (message_body_search_ctx): assertion failed: (input->v_offset <= part->physical_pos) A gdb analysis of the core dump is attached. BTW, I save core dumps in case you need

Timo, I see where at least one other person reported this, but here goes. I went from rc24 to rc25 this morning, and I got an assert and core from my own mailbox withing five minutes: Mar 2 06:52:26 karst dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.error] IMAP(jaearick): file mbox-sync-rewrite.c: line 408: assertion failed: (need_space == (uoff_t)-mails[idx].space) Mar 2 06:52:26 karst dovecot: [ID 107833

An email came to several users but one user didn't receive it and we got 'Mail delivery failed' message. As I see from the log below, there were broken index file. Then dovecot repaired that index and we got the error: Panic: file mail-index-sync-update.c: line 1013 (mail_index_sync_map): assertion failed: (map->hdr.indexid == index->indexid || map->hdr.indexid == 0) It was

Hi Timo and All, after upgrading to 2.1.2 i'm getting a lot of these messages: Error: Corrupted squat uidlist file XXXXXX wrong indexid I did not have them before. Ideas? Luca

I am running Dovecot IMAP on Linux, on a LizardFS storage cluster with Maildir storage. This has worked well for most of the accounts for several months. However in the last couple of weeks we are seeing increasing errors regarding corrupted index files. Some of the accounts affected are unable to retrieve messages due to timeouts. It appeared the problems were due to the accounts being accessed

If its too hard for them to setup the pop3 catch all, we can probably put some mapping in place to smtp froward mail to their server. This is more complex on our part so would prefer not to do it that way, but its an option and will require not setup on their part other than make sure their server does not accept mail for anyone other than our server. dovecot-request@dovecot.org wrote: >
