Hi,
I have installed Cyrus 2.0.16 on Red Hat 7.2 with the standard SASL
cyrus-sasl-1.5. I have been able to use it successfully and create perl web
administration tools for managing mailboxes.
I am currently doing a stress test, I need to be able to handle more than
100 thousand users on this server. I modified Cyrus Imap code so it can
accept numeric accounts which I need as I am creating emails for a cellular
company ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). I made a perl script to create 100000
accounts. I am using ext3 filesystem under linux. After the user number
31948 was created, no more accounts where created. Examining the imapd.log,
I found that it was complaining about "too many links error", see below
extract from imapd.log:
Feb 24 22:45:54 mail imapd[22212]: abort_txn: aborting txn 2147683085
Feb 24 22:45:54 mail imapd[22212]: myfetch: starting txn 2147683086
Feb 24 22:45:54 mail imapd[22212]: myfetch: reusing txn 2147683086
Feb 24 22:45:54 mail imapd[22212]: mystore: reusing txn 2147683086
Feb 24 22:45:54 mail imapd[22212]: IOERROR: creating directory
/var/spool/imap/user/01000032123: Too many links
Any help is greatly appreciated.
It would be nice if we could split /var/spool/imap/user on several
partitions, is this possible ? What options do I have ?
Following I will show several configurations files I am using:
/etc/imapd.conf -----------------------------
configdirectory: /var/imap
partition-default: /var/spool/imap
admins: cyrus root apache andres
sasl_pwcheck_method: sasldb
#sasl_auto_transition: yes
sendmail: /usr/sbin/sendmail
----------------------------------------------
/etc/cyrus.conf -------------------------------------
# standard standalone server implementation
START {
# do not delete these entries!
mboxlist cmd="ctl_mboxlist -r"
deliver cmd="ctl_deliver -r"
# this is only necessary if using idled for IMAP IDLE
# idled cmd="idled"
}
# UNIX sockets start with a slash and are put into /var/imap/socket
SERVICES {
# add or remove based on preferences
imap cmd="imapd" listen="imap" prefork=0
imaps cmd="imapd -s" listen="imaps" prefork=0
pop3 cmd="pop3d" listen="pop3" prefork=0
pop3s cmd="pop3d -s" listen="pop3s" prefork=0
sieve cmd="timsieved" listen="sieve" prefork=0
# at least one LMTP is required for delivery
# lmtp cmd="lmtpd" listen="lmtp" prefork=0
lmtpunix cmd="lmtpd" listen="/var/imap/socket/lmtp" prefork=0
}
EVENTS {
# this is required
checkpoint cmd="ctl_mboxlist -c" period=30
# this is only necessary if using duplicate delivery suppression
delprune cmd="ctl_deliver -E 3" period=1440
}
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Best regards,
Andres Maduro
