similar to: (imap) killed with signal 9 on Linux/OpenVZ VPS

Greetings, I run my own email server for some domains I administer, on a centos vps server with a very small number of users. The only services are smtp, imap/pop, webmail Everything was running without problems until this morning. I left home for 1/2 hours, and when I came back everything had become about 100x slower (seriously!). The services were/are still all up and running, but practically

Hi all, I have a dovecot installation which very suddenly decided to slow to a crawl yesterday after being totally fine for months. IMAP is fine, but POP3 is very painful to use, and frequently times out. here's my config: # 1.0.7: /etc/dovecot.conf log_path: /var/log/dovecot_errors info_log_path: /var/log/dovecot_informational ssl_ca_file: /etc/postfix/ssl/cacert.pem ssl_cert_file:

All, [version: dovecot-0.99.11-4.EL4.src.rpm] We recently experienced an issue that prevented all new IMAP logins from occurring. Although it appears that it was due to running out of available system file descriptors, I'm still not sure what the true root cause was as I can't replicate the same error in our test environment. The system file descriptor max was set at (per `cat

Hi, My laptop runs a local IMAP server so that I'm immune from breaking my mail client, and when playing around with powertop I discovered that Dovecot (in particular imap-login) wakes up every 1000ms and then every 50ms even when no clients are connected. A bit of stracing shows this: gettimeofday({1180875699, 667917}, NULL) = 0 <0.000010> poll([{fd=7,

Hi all, I'm pulling my hair out on this problem and wanted to throw it out there to see if anyone else had run across it. I recently restarted my server. There were some network config issues that caused the interfaces not to come back up, but my colo company got those resolved. However, after restart, my IMAPS server has stopped responding to outside requests. I can successfully access

I'm using dovecot 1.0.alpha4 on a freebsd 5.3 i386 system. Dovecot is configured to use mysql authentication and I'm running mysql 5.0.15 . Everything works fine, but after a period of inactivity (20-30 minutes ) when I connect and try to authenticate it just hangs. I noticed that the dovecot-auth worker process is not running anymore... from looking at the source code I understand that

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, I've configured Dovecot v1.0.0 with filesystem quota and to use hardlinks. Latter I use intentionally to save disk space and to achieve that an user can delete mails even if over quota and using the "Delete to Trash" feature.

Hi all, I've just installed CentOS 5.0 on two brand new server, and it's time for me to migrate a few virtual machines from the old servers. The old servers are running CentOS 4.4 + OpenVZ; I'm quite happy with this setup: fast safe and simple (for my experience as of now :) ) Also is very easy to migrate one virtual machine to a server to another for maintenance/reboots. I've

Greetings, So, anyone on this list using OS Virtualization? I've been using OpenVZ for about 1.5 years. I also have some experience with Linux-VServer. In my experience, if you want to do Linux on Linux, both OpenVZ and Linux-VServer offer native performance, better scalability, and higher density than VMware, Xen or KVM... although I must admit I haven't actually tried KVM yet. If

Hi, Let us say that I have a VT enabled Xen virtualization system with the ability to run unmodified kernels. So can I run OpenVz inside one of the Guest Oses? Theoretically I can''t find a reason why OpenVz cannot run inside Xen, since Xen provides full virtualization of the resources, but I just need to make sure. Thanks. _______________________________________________

Has anyone else running heavily loaded openvz boxes noticed strange behavior with the latest kernels? Ever since updating to the latest *.164* kernels, we have mysterious machine lock ups. Sometime there will be an oops message, other times there will be none. The oops messages aren't the same when we manage to get one. Sometimes a machine will just drop off network without even a blip on

Hi! as far as I understood from "xml format for openvz driver" thread available at [1] it should be possible to specify via libvirt disk size and disk inodes for openvz VM.But the following device section in VM xml description doesn't set disksize and diskinodes properly (it looks like those parameters are taken from default OpenVZ config and not as they are specified in

Hi, We have been releasing first public preview of OpenNode Management Server and its ajax Web Management Console. OpenNode host (eg bare-metal OpenNode ISO installer) is basically a CentOS + OpenVZ + KVM + libvirt + func mashup with customized installer - while OpenNode Management Server provides central management features based on func and libvirt layer and including a RPC API server + ajax

Does anyone have more example

Hi! Is there any way to specify ethernet device name to be created inside the openvz container? I could find such info at http://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsNICS. If I do as below I get br0 as ethernet device inside VM whereas I'd like it to be eth0. $ cat ovz.xml <domain type='openvz' id='144'> <name>144</name>

Hi! Is there any progress on issue mentioned in [1]? I mean the issue when xml file has VM type as openvz but 'virsh dumpxml <VMID>' returns domain type qemu. I still have issue in libvirt-0.8.8. BR, Nikolay. [1] http://osdir.com/ml/libvir-list/2009-07/msg00635.html
