futher info,

It will turn the dovecot process status to Z, and load shoot up to 20+ And no one else can login, just because one process crashes.

Thanks.

Hi All,

I hope someone could help me with this. 1.1.RC4 is the version.

I think the output of 'dovecot -n' and some more context from the logs would

be useful.

Patrick.

Horn,

Are you running on NFS?

What OS?

These are file system errors. I'm at home and don't have access to proper documentation, but 75 might be an error from a remote RPC system.

Me thinks you've got other problems than Dovecot.

Exactly.... That's what make me so confused. If it's kernel, then I would know that it's not dovecot.

But then Raymond has pointed me to the right direction, of finding exactly same messages with other applications too.

So I man fstat and remember that I couldn't rotatelog my dovecot log, so yup, I saw 2.6GB dovecotinfo file.

Solved right away.

But I wonder why dovecot would die and defunct and stop listening to pop and imap port because of that.

Thanks.

Do you know if it was really Dovecot or something else that wrote these messages? Since it has "dovecot" prefix it looks like it would come from Dovecot, but it doesn't look like Dovecot error message at all. I was just thinking that if it is Dovecot, that error message should be improved.

I somehow found out what's the problem.
