Hi,
On one of my dovecot servers, i've got a limit problem... and I'm a little confused about which knobs I should adjust to solve it.
I've been getting both of these:
Error: net_connect_unix(imap) failed: Resource temporarily unavailable - http://wiki2.dovecot.org/SocketUnavailableess
This one caused me to go read that wiki page, but none of those seem to apply to me:
. i'm running 2.2.9 . i dont have service imap { client_limit }, although I do have service auth ( client_limit = 1024 } . my dovecot/auth process shows: dovecot/auth [91 wait, 0 passdb, 0 userdb] . it doesn't appear the master process is using very much cpu (in fact the system is mostly low load in general) . I have service_count = 0 set for imap-login for the 'high performance mode'
dovecot: master: Warning: service(imap): process_limit (2560) reached, client connections are being dropped
The second is because I have process_limit of 2560 for the imap service... I can raise that to 4096, but I suspect there are other limits I need to juggle?
Thanks a lot for any suggestions!
I have ulimit -n 2048 set for the dovecot processes (in /etc/default/dovecot) and the following is my dovecot -n:
