I have had a couple of situations today where sync_master has terminated
abnormally, and I am trying to figure out where to look for the problem.
I am running Cyrus-IMAPd 2.3.3 under CentOS 3.6.
The first of the log entries for the two terminations show:
<snip>
master[6348]: process 22661 exited, signaled to death by 6
</snip>
Which according to 'man 7 signal' says that a signal 6 is a SIGABRT. Any

>syncserver[23808]: IOERROR: creating quota file
>/rep1/imap-backup/var/lib/imap/quota/c/user.changed.NEW: Too many open
>files
What about the per user limit? What does ulimit -a tell you for the cyrus
user?
Simon
OK, the per user limit is 1024 which is probably causing the problem, but I
thought Cyrus-IMAPd had some way of taking the limit off and using the
system maximum when it started? Or was this in a previous version of the
init script?
Anyway, I have increased the global user nofile values in
/etc/security/limits.conf.
syncserver[23808]: DBERROR: error storing user.changed: cyrusdb error
master[6348]: process 23808 exited, signaled to death by 11
></snip>
The odd thing about the second "Two many open files" error is that a cat
of
/proc/sys/fs/file-nr shows:
2175 520 235928
Which suggests that 2175 is the maximum number of open files the
machine's
>had, which is miles away from the file max of 235928?
Thanks
