Re: [Dovecot] Dovecot 1.2.2

I've just tried upgrading from 1.1.8 to 1.2.2. As soon as the new version was started up the number of imap/pop3 processes began to climb to 800+, where I normally have about 300 or so connections at any given time. The load on the server also climbed to 150+.

I've reverted back to 1.1.18, which is running just fine, but is there anything I can do to help trace what was causing the problem? Unfortunately I don't have a clue where to start.

Hello,

could you please give us more information about your machine :

• OS
• kernel
• the output of "dovecot --build-options"

I'm thinking about a regression in the kernel's inotify API that led
me to the same symptoms.

Regards.
