Hi all! We are running cyrus-imapd with all files (mailboxes, Berkeley-DB, mmap()ed files) on an ext3 filesystem (with data=ordered) on a iSCSI block device (and the actual storage is on a NetApp box if that matters) on a Xeon 3.2GHz CPU (with 4 cores/2 HT thread - ). The kernel is 2.6.18-128.el5 (from the RHEL5/CentOS-5 updates).
On a low-(to-now-)volume test cluster, everything runs fine. On the high-volume production cluster[0], we experienced a corrupted BDB. Googling didn't yield any useful result on the cause (or hint on improvement of the configuration). Does anyone have experience with such a setup? Is it possible to (simply) move the __* files to a local drive (or a tmpfs/ramfs/ramdisk)? Any hints or questions or feedback or ... is greatly appreciated, Bernd [0]: That's a high-availability cluster with heartbeat. So all Cyrus-Imapd processes run on the same host. -- Firmix Software GmbH http://www.firmix.at/ mobil: +43 664 4416156 fax: +43 1 7890849-55 Embedded Linux Development and Services ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/ Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/twiki List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
