I'm running dovecots replicator successfully on 33 mailboxes. There is
only one mailbox (the biggest one, 167000 mails) that is not replicating
successfully.
After 10 minutes the "source" starts logging these messages:
dovecot: dsync-local(f...@example.com): Error: dsync(imap.netsend.nl):
I/O has stalled, no activity for 600 seconds
dovecot: dsync-local(f...@example.com): Error: Timeout during
state=sync_mails (send=mail_requests recv=changes)
dovecot: dsync-local(f...@example.com): Error: Remote command process
isn't dying, killing it
dovecot: dsync-local(f...@example.com): Error: kill(17459, SIGKILL)
failed: Operation not permitted
dovecot: doveadm: Error: Pseudo-terminal will not be allocated because
stdin is not a terminal.
dovecot: doveadm: Error: dsync-remote(f...@example.com): Error: Couldn't

dovecot: doveadm: Error: Pseudo-terminal will not be allocated because
stdin is not a terminal.
dovecot: doveadm: Error: dsync-remote(f...@example.com): Error: Couldn't
lock //.dovecot-sync.lock: Timed out after 30 seconds
The 30 seconds timeout keeps repeating, while the doveadm process on the
destination keeps on going for hours and hours.
Destination imap.netsend.nl is creating a lot of hardlinks (at least one
hardlink per message) in .temp.... files. This takes about 1,5 hour,
after that the number of hardlinks decline again. But it looks like the
connection with source is already lost.
I've patched the source to overcome the timeout by changing it from 10
minutes to 3 hours[1] but now I'm running into a memory error:
dovecot: dsync-local(f...@example.com): Error: dsync(imap.netsend.nl):
I/O has stalled, no activity for 10800 seconds
dovecot: dsync-local(f...@example.com): Error: Timeout during
state=sync_mails (send=done recv=mails)
dovecot: dsync-local(f...@example.com): Error: mremap_anon(211677184)
failed: Cannot allocate memory
The allocate memory error shows up every 10 seconds.
Next I'll try to look into the memory allocation code, but maybe someone
already has a better idea?
Thanks.
