doveadm-server hangs with 100% cpu usage
by Dennis Kuhn 02 Sep '15

02 Sep '15

we have some replication issues. From time to time a doveadm-server process takes 100% cpu in the state recv_mailbox_tree_deletes on the replica. The process runs forever until it is manually killed. Strace on this process doesn't show anything. Sometimes we have several doveadm-server processes in this state, all for the same account, all with 100% CPU Load. The logfile on the master says: Error: Timeout during state=recv_mailbox_tree Error: dsync(dobby5.heinlein-support.de): I/O has stalled, no activity for 600 seconds My workaround is to delete the user directory on the replica so that the whole account is replicated again. This solves the problem for this specific account. The dovecot version is 2.2.15 on the master and 2.2.16 on the replica.

Moving mails from shared folder to shared folder doesn't work
by Peer Heinlein 02 Sep '15

Hi, having the attached configuration with Dovecot 2.2.9, Dovecot's crashing when moving a mail from a shared folder into another shared folder. Moving that mail into a "real" folder of the user or moving that mail from a real folder into the shared folder is always working. But moving from a shared folder into a shared folder doesn't work.

Single Instance Storage after the fact
by Joe Beaubien 02 Sep '15

02 Sep '15

Hi everyone, I tried to find info about this online, but I couldn't find anything talking specifically about what I am trying to accomplish. I am sending and receiving the same attachments pretty often and as a result my email accounts are growing much more rapidly than I would like. *My goal* is to set up a second instance of Dovecot with SIS enabled and transfer everything over to this new Dovecot setup. I was thinking of simply running a dsync backup from the old instance and then a dsync backup -R on the new instance with SIS. Would this effectively create a new set of mailboxes without attachments (and a new folder full of attachments)? If not, can someone point me to information on how to accomplish this? Best regards, Joe B.
