I m running a Red Hat Psyche 8.0 ("fully updated")
i've found this : http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/download/imapd/faq.html Q: I'm getting messages in imapd.log like: Sep 11 17:23:55 ogg lmtpd[773]: DBERROR db3: 16 lockers Sep 11 17:23:55 ogg lmtpd[1409]: DBERROR db3: 17 lockers Sep 11 17:23:56 ogg lmtpd[1508]: DBERROR db3: 9 lockers Sep 11 17:23:56 ogg lmtpd[776]: DBERROR db3: 9 lockers What's wrong? A: Nothing is wrong. These messages are logged whenever Berkeley db encounters lock contention, but isn't necessarily a problem by themselves. This is especially likely when you have an empty or small duplicate delivery database and are receiving a large volume of e-mail. Berkeley db 4.0 has a bug where the number of lockers isn't decremented properly, causing this number to be unreliable. and this : http://www.irbs.net/internet/info-cyrus/0211/0174.html On Wed, 13 Nov 2002, Andrei Loukinykh wrote: > Well, now I have Cyrus installed (yet not completely tested though) > The only 2 things left, which are bothering me now , 2 king of messages > in syslog: > > 1: > "lmtpd[10260]: DBERROR db4: 9 lockers" These are usually harmless, unless they go up in a sudden spike or are accompanied by other problems, its ok. > 2: > "master: setrlimit: Unable to set file descriptors limit to > -1: Operation not permitted" This is also mostly harmless, it indicates that cyrus was unable to unlimit its max # of file descriptors, which is generally ok. > But, may be there's something I can do to fix those bugs , to live with > clean logs...? change the code? turn off logging? Since the setrlimit one only occurs at startup, it shouldn't be that big a deal. I can see the DBERROR one being more annoying I guess, but it would require a change to the code. -Rob So i don't think this is really a problem .. ?? isn't it ?
