Hi, I'm seeing this problem recurringly. I ran db_recover-5.3 in the direcatory /var/imap/db no December 31, and now I got the same problem again. Stopping imapd, running db_recover-5.3, and restart imapd, fixes the problem for some time, but apparently, after about 9 days it failed again. Any tips? # freebsd-version 13.0-RELEASE-p5 # pkg info -Ix cyrus-imapd cyrus-imapd25-2.5.17_1 Cyrus mail server, supporting POP3 and IMAP4 protocols # pkg info -Ix db5 db5-5.3.28_7 Oracle Berkeley DB, revision 5.3 Jan 9 22:04:44 mail ctl_cyrusdb[51147]: DBERROR db5: BDB0060 PANIC: fatal region error detected; run recovery Jan 9 22:04:44 mail ctl_cyrusdb[51147]: DBERROR: critical database situation Jan 9 22:34:44 mail ctl_cyrusdb[54574]: DBERROR db5: BDB0060 PANIC: fatal region error detected; run recovery Jan 9 22:34:44 mail ctl_cyrusdb[54574]: DBERROR: critical database situation Jan 9 23:04:44 mail ctl_cyrusdb[57681]: DBERROR db5: BDB0060 PANIC: fatal region error detected; run recovery Jan 9 23:04:44 mail ctl_cyrusdb[57681]: DBERROR: critical database situation Jan 9 23:23:00 mail imaps[91220]: DBERROR db5: BDB1581 File handles still open at environment close Jan 9 23:23:00 mail imap[17227]: DBERROR db5: BDB1581 File handles still open at environment close Jan 9 23:23:00 mail imaps[91220]: DBERROR db5: BDB1582 Open file handle: /var/imap/db/__db.001 Jan 9 23:23:00 mail imap[17227]: DBERROR db5: BDB1582 Open file handle: /var/imap/db/__db.001 Jan 9 23:23:00 mail imaps[91220]: DBERROR db5: BDB1582 Open file handle: /var/imap/db/__db.002 Jan 9 23:23:00 mail imap[17227]: DBERROR db5: BDB1582 Open file handle: /var/imap/db/__db.002 Jan 9 23:23:00 mail imaps[91220]: DBERROR db5: BDB1582 Open file handle: /var/imap/db/__db.003 Jan 9 23:23:00 mail imap[17227]: DBERROR db5: BDB1582 Open file handle: /var/imap/db/__db.003 Jan 9 23:23:00 mail imaps[91220]: DBERROR db5: BDB0060 PANIC: fatal region error detected; run recovery Jan 9 23:23:00 mail imap[17227]: DBERROR db5: BDB0060 PANIC: fatal region error detected; run recovery Jan 9 23:23:00 mail imaps[91220]: DBERROR: critical database situation Jan 9 23:23:00 mail imap[17227]: DBERROR: critical database situation Jan 9 23:23:00 mail idled[45283]: DBERROR db5: BDB1581 File handles still open at environment close Jan 9 23:23:00 mail idled[45283]: DBERROR db5: BDB1582 Open file handle: /var/imap/db/__db.001 Jan 9 23:23:00 mail idled[45283]: DBERROR db5: BDB1582 Open file handle: /var/imap/db/__db.002 Jan 9 23:23:00 mail idled[45283]: DBERROR db5: BDB1582 Open file handle: /var/imap/db/__db.003 Jan 9 23:23:00 mail idled[45283]: DBERROR db5: BDB0060 PANIC: fatal region error detected; run recovery Jan 9 23:23:00 mail idled[45283]: DBERROR: critical database situation Thanks, Palle ------------------------------------------ Cyrus: Info Permalink: https://cyrus.topicbox.com/groups/info/T14a79ef249f0007e-M8554471342990b6c35a62b1b Delivery options: https://cyrus.topicbox.com/groups/info/subscription
