I see two kinds of messages in syslog: the first one concerns I usually put those files (in my case /var/lib/imap) on a separate filesystem which can't be filled just like that.

Please > advise. It's not so bad as long as the lockers number doesn't increase dramatically. However, I still recommend converting to skiplist. It's a simpler system and works nice, except for disk full and crash situations. Even then it's still easier to fix than BDB. > > The cyrus version is 2.2.13 configured with > ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/cyrus --with-duplicate-db=skiplist > --with-sasl=/usr/local/cyrus --without-snmp > > Can I switch the database backends to more realiable ones?
