Unless perhaps I should be doing locking somehow explicitly. I can't seem to find usable documentation for bdb. Also the dict proxy pretty stupidly opens the bdb file multiple times inside the same process, even though it could simply be creating new transactions. Too much trouble to fix right now. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

I must admit, that since then I've moved over to an sql backend for the dictionary, but if it needs testing I could set up bdb again.

[Dovecot] Error: dict: Failed to initialize dictionary 'expire'
Hi! Using dovecot-1.1.17, and BDB-4.6.21. I'm having this error in every two weeks or so. I've running this in a crontab: /usr/local/sbin/dovecot --exec-mail \ ext /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/expire-tool The expire plugin and tool is working fine, the configuration is ok, and I'm using the BDB backend. What happens in every ~two weeks is dovecot starts to give me this error messages: Error: dict: db_env: Unable to allocate memory for transaction detail Error: dict: Failed to initialize dictionary 'expire' Reading thru Oracle's Berkeley DB FAQ: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/berkeley-db/faq/db_faq.html#28 This error means the maximum number of active transactions configured for Berkeley DB has been reached [...] When all of the memory available in the database environment for transactions is in use, calls to being a transaction will fail until some active transactions complete. By default, the database environment is configured to support at least 20 active transactions. What could be happening here? Why coudn't it finish its transactions? After a dovecot restart it works fine :\ Thanks in advance for any hints. Daniel -- LEVAI Daniel PGP key ID = 0x4AC0A4B1 Key fingerprint = D037 03B9 C12D D338 4412 2D83 1373 917A 4AC0 A4B1

I'm having this error in every two weeks or so. I've running this in
a crontab:
/usr/local/sbin/dovecot --exec-mail \
ext /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/expire-tool
The expire plugin and tool is working fine, the configuration is ok,
and I'm using the BDB backend.
What happens in every ~two weeks is dovecot starts to give me this
error messages:
Error: dict: db_env: Unable to allocate memory for transaction detail
Error: dict: Failed to initialize dictionary 'expire'
Reading thru Oracle's Berkeley DB FAQ:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/berkeley-db/faq/db_faq.html
#28 This error means the maximum number of active transactions
configured for Berkeley DB has been reached [...] When all of the
memory available in the database environment for transactions is in

transactions complete. By default, the database environment is

.
What could be happening here? Why coudn't it finish its transactions?
After a dovecot restart it works fine :\
Sorry, I was in a hurry. It won't work even after a dovecot restart. I
must delete expire's database directory, which I set with expire =
db:/var/dovecot/expire/expire.db under the dict {} section. Then after
a dovecot restart it works fine (at least for a couple of weeks).
