I have this EXACT same problem after upgrading to SuSE 11.1, which uses this exact kernel version!!

After reading this, I was excited to think that if I killed the nfsserver daemon (which I had running for no good reason), that it would sort my problem....

Sure enough, my computer - which up to now had been going unresponsive every 24 hours - was running fine for 72 hours and then BOOM... it happened again.

Just wanted to let people know that it seems that at the minute, the dovecot that ships with SuSE and the kernel they are using in 11.1 exhibit this problem.

Suse kernels are not like vanilla kernels, they are deeply patched an mostly have stuff from the next kernel version allready in you might use yast for upgrading latest suse kernel it might fixed allready a short look gives http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/tristanhoffmann/openSUSE_11.... gives dovecot 1.1.11 which is latest also loadable by yast or just download rpm and upgrade wtih rpm -u

standart rep for mail stuff is http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/mail/openSUSE_11.1/ but here dovecot is not at latest but it shouldnt be any big problem downloading src and prepare the spec with latest src dovecot and compile by yourself which is the best way and gives you the suse splitted packs too and the advantage to see compile stuff for sure you need some others libs etc cause of dependencies befor but they are mostly downloadable also by yast

be aware that suse sometimes splits up funktions in own packs like dovecot-autocreate11, dovecot-antispam11 etc this musnt be the same by versions compile from home suse users

also help full send a mail to the build service, normally it takes only days and the newest version gets compiled

use http://software.opensuse.org/search if looking for newer versions of software

This is sounding similar to the problem I have with my setup:

1. High CPU usage.

2. Can't kill IMAP.

3. Server becomes unresponsive.

I'm using CentOS 5.2 64-bit version with the latest cPanel.

So what am I missing, other than the problem nobody else is having is clearly something they ARE having?

Peace, Gene
