Hi,
I am running dovecot 1.0.rc7 on a Suse Linux server. The server has approx 200+ mailboxes.
Last week the filesystem (/dev/mapper/datavg/dat2lv) ran out of space - causing it to do into read-only mode. When I realised this I allocated some more space and re-booted the machine...
Strangely it seems that dovecot is still having problems... It's like dovecot doesn't realise that there is enough space on the file system.
Also - it only is happening to a few users at this stage - not all users are having problems sending/receiving emails...
The dovecotstderr.log file contains:
dovecot: Aug 05 09:47:38 Error: IMAP(rebecca): file_dotlock_open(/data/mail/rebecca/dovecot-uidlist) failed: No space left on device
When I do a df -h
mail:/var/log # df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda4 9.0G 5.7G 3.3G 64% / tmpfs 491M 8.0K 491M 1% /dev/shm /dev/mapper/datavg-dat2lv 300G 130G 171G 44% /data
When I do a df -i
mail:/var/log # df -i Filesystem Inodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on /dev/sda4 0 0 0 - / tmpfs 125505 5 125500 1% /dev/shm /dev/mapper/datavg-dat2lv 357753312 1030354 356722958 1% /data
I manually created a file in /data/mail/rebecca - which worked fine, and didn't cause any problems.
HELP!!!
I am stumped.... I can't understand why Dovecot is complaining..
I have manually stopped postfix and dovecot, and then re-started them.. But to no avail.
HELP - I am desperate.... My previously very reliable email server seems to be sick..
