Re: Anyone using Linux LVM with cyrus?

Is it possible to add disc space with ext3fs and LVM, too? We are using LVM on top of hardware RAID 5 so as long as 2 disks don't fail at once we should be OK. Hm, sounds nice :) To be more specific, what I've in mind is a setup like that, for 60--100 users: + 18 or 36 GB SCSI: system itselfe and about 20--25 GB /var for incoming/outgoing mail (incl. virus scanning) and the more actively used part of the cyrus mail store, quota of about 100 MB/user or 10 GB shared by the user.* hierarchy on it + 120 GB IDE to keep another cyrus mail store partition (archive) Users should move older mail from the default partition to the archive. Some shared folders will probably reside on the IDE discs, too. The archives will provide a quota of 1 GB/user. Two identical 120 GB IDE discs should be used to keep and mirror the archive. The SCSI disc should be mirrored also (at least the /var partition), though I'm not sure yet whether it's better to use a second SCSI disc for that or if it's a good idea to divide the IDEs into partitions of 100 GB and 20 GB each, so that the SCSI disc can be mirrored to the 20 GB partitions on the IDEs. Daily backups will probably be done to another 120 GB IDE disc. I'll use ext3fs for all partitions --- reiserfs or even xfs may have advantages, but I like ext3 more, and the expected number of files that have to be handled should be still ok for ext3. Is this a reasonable setup, and can it reliably be done with LVM? Or is it better to use raidtools2 for it? Or would you suggest to use hardware IDE RAID instead, maybe by forgoing SCSI? Hi, Your idea looks similar to what I'm intending to do with my next big server. Some things come to mind: - Hardware IDE Raid: Most so called hardware RAID are simply software RAID, because the driver from the vendor does software RAID. Those driver are often binary only and they do RAID worse than the Linux MD driver does it. Until you want to go with true hardware RAID like 3ware, stay away from it. - I've been using LVM on top of software RAID0,1,5. I've been told that the RAID function built in in LVM is not as good as Linux MD, YMMV. - XFS on top of LVM/MD is very cool because you can grow volumes and filesystems on the fully operating server. In fact, growing XFS can only be done online. Unfortunately there were some issues with snapshotting with XFS. - ext3 on top of LVM/MD works well too. Snapshotting works well. Growing filesystems have to be done offline. There are tools to grow online, but this is dangerous. Simon Any suggestions are appreciated --- I don't know how flexible LVM can make things, so a totally different setup might be even better. GH

cyradm -- why not asking for password?
Hi, first thank you for your help with my last problem. I found the mistake and please don't laugh: When I tried to logon with cyradm, is seems for me, as if nothing happens. I used cyradm localhost and the curser jumped th the next line. But not more. After some returns I got the message: could not authenticate. After some hours I had tried evrything I hit on to enter my password. I got a message to enter my imap password. That was it. Why is cyradm not asking for a password? Why do I have to enter it twice?

Re: cyrus 2.2 and virtual domain resolution
i can login as [EMAIL PROTECTED] to both pop3 (telnet) and imap (mutt and imtest), I can login to pop3 and imtest with user and [EMAIL PROTECTED]. BUT when I use mutt to login as [EMAIL PROTECTED] or user it fails again with same domain=com in log. Where as [EMAIL PROTECTED] works fine. I cannot understand why pop3 and imtest (with -r and without, as user and as [EMAIL PROTECTED]) works but mutt doesnt??? Anything I am doing wrong? Do you have an IP reverse lookup setup in DNS for your machine ? dig -x your.ip.address.here gives you defauldomain.com or hostname.defaultdomain.com ? --Christian-- yes you were right DNS had reverse address for 127.0.0.1 as localhost.defaultdomain.com. I fixed it, but it didnt change anything. I still need hosts file to contain localhost.defaultdomain.com for users in defaultdomain to be able to login at all .

Re: looking for Cyrus mail format documentation
Phil Howard wrote: That would result in doubling the bandwidth on the inside server connection since it would be dealing with the mail first coming in to the MX, then being replicated back out to the other server. By delivering outside mail to the outside server first, the only bandwidth usage is replicating to the inside server (reverse the scenario for mail originating inside). Is the cost of bandwidth to your inside server really so expensive as to justify the expense of complicated development, hosting an offsite server with that much bandwidth, and maintaining a remote system? It really sounds like you are overengineering the problem. If there was a way to track when the flags got changed. I feel it's OK to trust the clocks on the servers, and simply decide which flag state prevails based on which has the later timestamp. But I bet that metadata isn't in the current mailstore design. No, the time a flag was changed isn't kept. In fact for seen flags which are cached in memory while a mailbox is open, only a single bit is kept. -- John A.

Compile-Error cuyry-imap2.1.12 and cyrus-imap2.1.9: Newbie
Hallo to all,
I have problems to compile cyrus-imap-Server.
I'm a newbie in Cyrus, but I read the mailing-Archives, to see if there
is a solution to the problem and havent seen any.
Some hints were in changing the include of db.h in lib/cyrusdb_db3.c
to a full path-incude. But this did not work for me.
Here is what i tried. I tried two nights without success. I would
appreciate if someone could give me some help.
Many Thancs in advance.

In other words, the integer value 5 in process B is not the same thing as file descriptor 5 in process A. When the parent initally forks the child, (if close on exec isn't set) the child and parent will have the same file descriptors available to them. Wouldn't any fd's opened in the parent after the child exec()s be unique to the running instance of the parent process? Just asking -- I could be wrong it wouldn't be the first time.

I don't know anything about your linux distro. With cyrus-imapd-2.1.12,
I had to modify my rpm spec to build on RedHat 6.2 like this:
--with-bdb-incdir=%_includedir/%{_dbver}
which is expanded to
--with-bdb-incdir=/usr/include/db3/db.h
Just adopt to your situation.

At least the ability to automatically spread folders across several partitions depending on their names can contribute to performance. Part of the design of cyrus includes the assumption that it's a bigger helpdesk headache when users blow away their own acls (and lose access) than it is if they are actually held bound to them. Therefore, within a user's mailbox hierarchy, you cannot remove full rights for that user. This is a very good point, though it took me some time to understand it. I didn't realize that I cannot remove the 'a' flag from ACLs of user.* mailboxes for their owners. But I can still achieve what I want by creating an 'archives' hierarchy outside the 'user' hierarchy. With permissions set correctly, it's at least even more clear to the users what the archives-stuff is about. BTW, which IMAP clients or other programs are out there that allow users to easily edit their ACLs? A webclient to just set ACLs would also be ok. It would be *very* nice if I could tell our users to set the permissions they want on their mailfolders all on their own :) There are various arguments against this, and I think the final decision was that we look at an implicit rights patch, whereby admins could specify what rights their users had on their mailboxes implicitly (and I seem to remember Ken even made one), but I can't locate it right now. Ken? So this provides control over what rights are inherited? Sounds good :) GH
Re: Anyone using Linux LVM with cyrus?
On Thu, Feb 06, 2003 at 08:42:00AM +0100, Simon Matter wrote: - Hardware IDE Raid: Most so called hardware RAID are simply software RAID, because the driver from the vendor does software RAID. Those driver are often binary only and they do RAID worse than the Linux MD driver does it. Until you want to go with true hardware RAID like 3ware, stay away from it. Ja, I will. For one thing, it's not an option to rely on drivers supplied by the vendor, as you might suddenly get stuck without any driver at all as soon as a kernel update or something like that is neccessary. Well, 3ware seems to be what most ppl recommend. For another thing, I'm very reluctant with trusting any IDE hardware RAID. Before building on it, I definitely want to see that it actually works. - I've been using LVM on top of software RAID0,1,5. I've been told that the RAID function built in in LVM is not as good as Linux MD, YMMV. hm This sounds a bit overdone to me, but if it's better to use both tools, why not :) - XFS on top of LVM/MD is very cool because you can grow volumes and filesystems on the fully operating server. In fact, growing XFS can only be done online. XFS is a nice FS, but once I tried it and managed to damage some data. It was probably my own fault, but I'm still a bit, hm, afraid of using it. Otoh, I'd prefer XFS over reiserfs --- I don't like reiserfs for no relevant reason, just a personal dislike. Unfortunately there were some issues with snapshotting with XFS. Snapshotting? What's that? - ext3 on top of LVM/MD works well too. Snapshotting works well. Growing filesystems have to be done offline. There are tools to grow online, but this is dangerous. Growing could be done offline, but I doubt that it'll ever be needed. The server may end up with about 15 million files on a 100 or 120 GB partition at the time it is running out of disk space. My intention was to use ext3 on that partition, but considering the large number of files, I begin to doubt that ext3 is a good choice. What do you guys think? GH
Re: Solaris 8 cyrus-imspd-v1.6a3 can't make lib/prot.o
Hi there Glo, I've got a home brewed Solaris x86 box I thought I'd give it a whirl for you. I'm running a self-compiled gcc 3.2.1, that seems to be going OK - it's down cyrus-imap sasl and apache2.xx so far, so I think it's OK (haven't had a chance to get the GCC test suite from work yet, seeing 'I don't need it'), long story. But I digress... Current working directory /usr/local/src/cyrus-imspd-v1.6a3/lib I don't know if this is relevant, but cyrus-sasl-2.1.10 was configured Well, I was scratching my head too.

lm command
Hi guys, I am haveing trouble deleting, or renaming a few mailboxes that I created when I first set up the system for testing purposes. Cyrus has been running for 6 months without a problem with about 100 users, but I would like to tidy these up. When I try to delete these mailboxes I either get command failed: Mailbox does not exist or command failed: Operation is not supported on mailbox. I have attached my sessions below so you can see what I do... Should I delete the corresponding directories and then rebuild the database or what? Thanks for taking the time, Daniel. --- lm INBOX nick.kotlarksi user.achim user.achim.Sent user.adam user.daniel sam user.daniel root rl // as a test lam user.daniel danielm lrswipcda root lr//expected result sam nick.kotlarski root c command failed: Mailbox does not exist lam nick.kotlarski command failed: Mailbox does not exist sam INBOX root c lam INBOX root lca dm INBOX command failed: Operation is not supported on mailbox ---

informing users about quotas
Hi, how can users securely be informed about their quota usage? It seems to be left to the clients to ignore or to not ignore the warnings from cyrus. Unfortunately, the mozilla client ignores the warnings, and incoming mail would be silently rejected once the user is over quota. Is there a tool (for cyrus 1.5.x as comes with Debian Woody) that could be run by cron to send the users who are about to reach their quota limit a warning message? GH
Re: informing users about quotas
Quoting Hans Wilmer [EMAIL PROTECTED]: how can users securely be informed about their quota usage? It seems to be left to the clients to ignore or to not ignore the warnings from cyrus.

Is there a tool (for cyrus 1.5.x as comes with Debian Woody) that could be run by cron to send the users who are about to reach their quota limit a warning message? What we do is run a perl script that parses the output of quota and sends email to everyone over quota. Our custom delivery program recognizes the from address (our help desk) and sets the ignorequota option on the LMTP connection so the mail is delivered regardless. Even before we had that running, the users who were over quota noticed pretty quickly they weren't getting mail and called the help desk :). -- John A. Tamplin Unix System Administrator
