Timo, last year when you remoted into our server and performed the migration from courier-imap, we ran into this issue, and you solved it by doing:
echo 1024 > /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_instances
Then you said you were going to solve this permanently by changing the init script...
Here is what you said (this is from the skype chat):
[2012-06-04 10:40:43 AM] timosirainen: probably put to dovecot init script or something
Actually found this a but later during the chat, which looks much better. I guess when you said 'it looks up a good value from doveconf', that one could specify the value in the config file and it would use whatever was there?
Anyway, here is what you said (to refresh your memory):
timosirainen: i can do that. btw i've today been building RPMs for dovecot timosirainen: and in that init.d script i'm also adding this timosirainen: i'll make it somewhat automatic though timosirainen: if [ "$INOTIFY_INSTANCES" != "" ]; then if [ "$INOTIFY_INSTANCES" = "auto" ]; then INOTIFY_INSTANCES=
$doveadm config -h service/imap/process_limitif [ "$INOTIFY_INSTANCES" = 0 ]; then INOTIFY_INSTANCES=$doveadm config -h default_process_limitfi increase_proc_value /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches $INOTIFY_INSTANCES increase_proc_value /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_instances $INOTIFY_INSTANCES fi fi timosirainen: it looks up a good value from doveconf
