Re: I/O error moving mailbox [Problem Solved]

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 




Hello to the list!,


finally I could solve the problem thank to another list user (Wesley) that sent me a private message.

He suggested me to trace using "strace" the imapd process while I was trying to move the mailbox.

When I did that I discovered that the problem could be related with the quota file:

/var/lib/imap/quota/c/user.col1901 exists but It was empty


pcocol01:~ # cat /var/lib/imap/quota/c/user.col1901
pcocol01:~ #


Not like other mailbox quotas:

pcocol01:~ # cat /var/lib/imap/quota/c/user.col5000
430654051
10000000
pcocol01:~ #

When I tried to set the quota for that user I received the same error:


localhost> lq user.col1901
localhost> sq user.col1901 10000000
quota:10000000
setquota: System I/O error

After "stracing" while I was trying to set the quota I got the same problems so I decided to remove the empty file (/var/lib/imap/quota/c/user.col1901) as Wesley suggested me.

After removing the file the problem looked like solved:

pcocol01:~ # cyradm -u cyrus -pass XXXXXXXXXX localhost
localhost> sq user.col1901 10000000
quota:10000000
localhost> lq user.col1901
 STORAGE 0/10000000 (0%)
localhost> renm user.col1901 user.col1901 part3
localhost>


Thank you very much to all of you!

I have just tried your suggestion:


[...]


// cyrus.*.NEW files removed:


pcocol01:~ # cd /buzonesdir/user/col1901/
pcocol01:/buzonesdir/user/col1901 # ls
cyrus.cache  cyrus.cache.NEW  cyrus.header  cyrus.index cyrus.index.NEW
Drafts  PosibleSPAM  Sent  Trash
pcocol01:/buzonesdir/user/col1901 # rm cyrus.*.NEW

...

// You are right, there was a partial "movement" in
/mnt/celerra/user/col1901:


pcocol01:/buzonesdir/user/col1901 # ls /mnt/celerra/user/col1901/
cyrus.cache  cyrus.header  cyrus.index

// If I try to move the mailbox without removing this partial files I
have no success:

pcocol01:/buzonesdir/user # cyradm -u cyrus -pass XXXXXXX localhost
localhost> renm user.col1901 user.col1901 part3 renamemailbox: System I/O
error localhost> exit


// But It also doesn't work if I remove those files previously.


pcocol01:/buzonesdir/user # rm -rf /mnt/celerra/user/col1901
pcocol01:/buzonesdir/user # ls /mnt/celerra/user/col1901

pcocol01:/buzonesdir/user # cyradm -u cyrus -pass XXXXXXXX localhost
localhost> renm user.col1901 user.col1901 part3 renamemailbox: System I/O
error

[...]


Any other idea?

Just an idea: Have you checked if after the first attempt the .NEW
files you had previously deleted hadn't perhaps reappeared? Maybe you need to
delete them again.
I did It :(


[...]
// no *NEW* files in origin partition mailbox:


pcocol01:~ # find /buzonesdir/user/col1901/ -iname '*NEW*' -print
pcocol01:~ #


// no one file in destination partition:
pcocol01:/mnt/celerra/user # ls /mnt/celerra/user/col1901
/bin/ls: /mnt/celerra/user/col1901: No such file or directory


// But still It doesn't work :(
pcocol01:~ # cyradm -u cyrus -pass XXXXXX localhost
localhost> renm user.col1901 user.col1901 part3 renamemailbox: System I/O error
 [...]


Any other test or idea to try?
Javier,


I am in the middle of preparations for a Cyrus migration myself (50 million
messages in 475,000 mailboxes, totalling more than 5 Terabyte of e-mail)
but I would expect the destination directory to be certainly empty, if not
non-existing. I have little time to test this on my Cyrus 2.3 environment,
however.


I really appreciate you help  Eric.

I noticed your destination partition bearing a 'celerra' name component.
Is this an NFS mount or an iSCSI block device 'attach' on your Cyrus server ?

Yes It is. /mnt/celerra is a NFS mountpoint:


pcocol01:~ # mount | grep celerra
212.145.146.8:/FS_AUX/FS_AUX on /mnt/celerra type nfs (rw,addr=212.145.146.8)


But, honestly I think It's not a real I/O problem. I can move other mailboxes from one partition to another without problem.

[...]
pcocol01:~ # cyradm -u cyrus -pass XXXXXXX localhost
localhost> cm user.movingproblem default
localhost> exit
pcocol01:~ # ls /buzonesdir/user/movingproblem/
cyrus.cache  cyrus.header  cyrus.index
pcocol01:~ # cyradm -u cyrus -pass XXXXXXXX localhost
localhost> renm user.movingproblem user.movingproblem part3
localhost> exit
pcocol01:~ # ls /mnt/celerra/user/movingproblem/
cyrus.cache  cyrus.header  cyrus.index
[...]


Also I don't see any NFS error or warning in log files.

?????????

Thank you again.
