similar to: Imaptest stall

Yes dovecot is showing the inserted messages until the stall. Looks like it is an issue with imap test because I am able to empty the mailbox again via thunderbird. I am comparing write tests to different backends. -----Original Message----- From: Daniel Miller [mailto:dmiller at amfes.com] Sent: dinsdag 17 september 2019 22:06 To: Marc Roos; dovecot Subject: Re: Imaptest stall On 9/17/2019

I am also testing rbox plugin ;) So I would like just the imaptest tool to work. No one else ever run into this? I saw something similar on the mailing list a long time ago. -----Original Message----- From: Daniel Miller via dovecot [mailto:dovecot at dovecot.org] To: dovecot at dovecot.org Subject: Re: Imaptest stall If you're just speed testing for writing probably sdbox or maildir

I thought I'd try benchmarking with dbmail (v2.2.4) to see how much slower a SQL backend could actually be. Skip to bottom for the conclusions. Originally I ran the tests with the databases being in XFS filesystem. MySQL's performance was horrible. It went 3-7x faster with ext3. MySQL 5.0.30 backend (innodb): ./imaptest clients=1 - append=100 seed=1 secs=30 msgs=1000000 logout=0

I have test environment to determine what would be best settings. I have been told that enabling zlib compression would be good to save iops on storage. But doing the test now, I get worse results.

If you're just speed testing for writing probably sdbox or maildir would be the fastest.

Now that I have a working kvm setup, I thought I'd finally try how Zimbra works. This is mainly some microbenchmarking, so it may not have much to do with actual performance in real life. Setup: - 1GB memory given to kvm (from host's 2GB) - Intel Core 2 6600 (kvm uses only one CPU) - CentOS 5 - 15GB qcow2 image on XFS filesystem - Zimbra 5.0 RC2 RHEL5 x86_64 - Dovecot latest hg,

I wasted too much time today doing this, but they do show a few interesting things: 1) mmap_disable=yes is faster than mmap_disable=no. I didn't expect this. I'm not yet sure why this is, but possibly because then it updates the mail index by reading the changes from dovecot.index.log, instead of reopening and re-mmaping dovecot.index. At least that's the biggest difference between

v1.1 plans have changed a bit. I'll release v1.1.alpha1 soon and hope to have a stable v1.1 in a month or two. The rest of the features that didn't make it into v1.1 will go to v1.2. I'll write more about this when v1.1 alpha is released. I also did a bit of benchmarking. v1.1's performance improvements are looking pretty great, it seems to be twice as fast as v1.0. v1.0:

Hey guys, Has anybody ever used imaptest to benchmark *ONLY* reads? I'm trying to run a battery of tests in my new cluster and apparently no combination of parameters works, because fetch instruction doesn't run. Below is the command I'm using and its partial output imaptest/src/imaptest host=$SERVER_IP port=143 user=teste%d at example%d.com pass=$TEST_PASS users=10 domains=10

We have done some benchmarking tests using dovecot 2.0.12 to find the best shared filesystem for hosting many users, here I share with you the results, notice the bad perfomance of all the shared filesystems against the local storage. Is there any specific optimization/tunning on dovecot for use GFS2 on rhel6??, we have configured the director to make the user mailbox persistent in a node, we will

http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-dbox-redesign/ Looks like multi-dbox scales pretty nicely. Even after 100k messages the peak saved msgs/sec is the same as the initial saved msgs/sec, even if the average slows down somewhat. I tested this by first deleting mailbox, then running "imaptest" for a second to get saving to start writing several fields to dovecot.index.cache file. Then ran

Some new features in CVS HEAD are: - v1.0 saves most of the data to dovecot.index.cache only when the client is FETCHing the messages. With mboxes the message headers are saved while parsing the mbox, which is almost the same thing. With CVS HEAD the dovecot.index.cache file is updated already when the new messages are being saved (with deliver or IMAP APPEND). This avoids reading the message

FWIIW I had this message still in drafts /usr/bin/imaptest - append=100,0 logout=0 host=xxx port=143 user=xxx pass=xxx seed=100 secs=1 clients=1 mbox=64kb.mbox box=inbox/test msgs=100000 And inbox/test does not exist, results in: Fatal: master: service(imap): child 20282 killed with signal 11 (core dumped)

Hello, I'm migrating a mail server from a centos 5 cluster architecture to a centos 6 cluster architecture. The new cluster involves faster machines then the old cluster, and a virtual machine. I use dovecot-2.0.9-5.el6.x86_64, while the old cluster uses dovecot-2.0.1-1_118.el5. Tha mail server uses mysql for the users database, and a local ldap for authentication. The storage is also much

Greetings - I've now got as far as playing with the imaptest10 test utility to see if I can stress-test our development server. imaptest10 is built against dovecot-1.0rc28 It may just be that I'm excessively heavy handed, but when I let imaptest10 rip with the command... ./imaptest10 user=test%03d host=testserver.imap.york.ac.uk clients=50 mbox=./dovecot.mbox msgs=1000 secs=30

I cleaned up the lib-storage code a bit so that it's easier to write support for new mailbox formats. It could still use a bit of cleaning up. Anyway, I thought I'd try how easy it would be to implement Cyrus-like mail store which would consist of only Dovecot's index files and "<uid>." message files. Flags and everything else is kept only in Dovecot's index files
