It maybe has not directly anything to see with open files. I also see this in my logs: 990618:Jan 16 13:39:14 zeus master[32503]: about to exec /usr/cyrus/bin/imapd 990636:Jan 16 13:39:14 zeus imaps[32503]: executed 990650:Jan 16 13:39:15 zeus imaps[32503]: accepted connection 990671:Jan 16 13:39:15 zeus imaps[32503]: imapd:Loading hard-coded DH parameters 990697:Jan 16 13:39:15 zeus imaps[32503]: SSL_accept() incomplete -> wait 990708:Jan 16 13:39:15 zeus imaps[32503]: SSL_accept() succeeded -> done 990716:Jan 16 13:39:15 zeus imaps[32503]: starttls: TLSv1 with cipher DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA (256/256 bits reused) no authentication 990746:Jan 16 13:39:15 zeus imaps[32503]: login: www.someip.net [192.168.1.1] user1 plain+TLS User logged in 990747:Jan 16 13:39:15 zeus imaps[32503]: seen_db: user user1 opened /var/imap/user/a/user1.seen 990748:Jan 16 13:39:15 zeus imaps[32503]: open: user user1 opened INBOX 990796:Jan 16 13:39:16 zeus master[24939]: process 32503 exited, signaled to death by 11 990804:Jan 16 13:39:16 zeus kernel: imapd[32503]: segfault at d6f556fc eip 0806fd0a esp bfa06d90 error 5 990805:Jan 16 13:39:16 zeus master[24939]: service imaps pid 32503 in BUSY state: terminated abnormally Regards, Tom -----Original Message----- From: Scott Likens [mailto:damm@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: dinsdag 15 januari 2008 18:49 To: Alain Spineux Cc: Tom Myny; info-cyrus@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Open files issues Step 1, su - Step 2, su cyrus - Step 3, ulimit -a More then likely the cyrus user does not have the same ability as 'root' does for maxfiles, so then you would need to modify them. Depending on how your Linux configuration is setup that can be just a simple addition to /etc/profile, or you may need to modify login.conf or some security file in order to up the maxfiles for that user. Since cyrus is not in the 'wheel' group it is not considered a superuser, so it does not inherit the 'superuser' permissions for maxopenfiles. This is a known thing for like NetBSD, and they fix it appropriately by telling the script to change the ulimit while it runs... hth Scott On Jan 15, 2008, at 7:54 AM, Alain Spineux wrote: > On Jan 15, 2008 3:31 PM, Tom Myny <tom.myny@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> Hi Guys, >> >> I'm having this each day: >> >> Jan 15 09:06:03 zeus lmtpunix[1029]: IOERROR: creating quota file >> /var/imap/quota/l/user.user1.NEW: Too many open files >> Jan 15 09:51:29 zeus lmtpunix[24100]: IOERROR: creating quota file >> /var/imap/quota/i/user.user2.NEW: Too many open files >> Jan 15 09:51:50 zeus lmtpunix[24100]: IOERROR: opening quota file >> /var/imap/quota/f/user.user3: Too many open files >> Jan 15 09:52:01 zeus lmtpunix[24100]: IOERROR: opening quota file >> /var/imap/quota/i/user.user4: Too many open files >> Jan 15 10:34:04 zeus lmtpunix[16510]: IOERROR: creating quota file >> /var/imap/quota/w/user.user5.NEW: Too many open files >> .. >> > > Are you sure cyrus is guilty and no simply suffering of another > process ? > You can use lsof command to see who open what. > >> I've tried the following: >> >> --- >> >> Check file-max: >> >> cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max >> >> 359801 >> >> --- >> >> Checking ulimit: >> >> ulimit -a >> core file size (blocks, -c) 0 >> data seg size (kbytes, -d) unlimited >> max nice (-e) 0 >> file size (blocks, -f) unlimited >> pending signals (-i) unlimited >> max locked memory (kbytes, -l) unlimited >> max memory size (kbytes, -m) unlimited >> open files (-n) 1024 >> pipe size (512 bytes, -p) 8 >> POSIX message queues (bytes, -q) unlimited >> max rt priority (-r) 0 >> stack size (kbytes, -s) 8192 >> cpu time (seconds, -t) unlimited >> max user processes (-u) unlimited >> virtual memory (kbytes, -v) unlimited >> file locks (-x) unlimited >> >> Set ulimit -n 10000 on start-up script -> No effect :( >> >> >> --- >> >> Changed NR_OPEN and NR_FILE in kernel, recompile -> No effect :( >> >> --- >> >> >> Anybody an idea ? >> >> Regards, >> Tom >> >> ---- >> Cyrus Home Page: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/ >> Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/twiki >> List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html >> > > > > -- > Alain Spineux > aspineux gmail com > May the sources be with you > ---- > Cyrus Home Page: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/ > Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/twiki > List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html > > > !DSPAM:478cf03271951804284693! > > ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/ Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/twiki List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
