performance issue with UID SEARCH

Hi, I'm running dovecot 2.2.x and I'm having an issue where I see many dovecot processes use all the available IO on a server. According to iotop the worst offenders seem to be in this state (NOTE: I swapped in phony username & IP info): dovecot/imap [someusername 123.456.789.012 UID SEARCH]

Hi, try to start dovecot with ulimits -u 10240 -n 4 and increase the value in /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_instances around to 1024. I also suggest to use XFS instead of ext4, for example after a crash XFS is immediately available. Ciao Il 05/11/2014 16:07, absolutely_f...@libero.it

Hi Scott, One could always run the mailstore on LVM and then you could snapshot the mount and then fsck it while still technically in use. It would probably slow down the filesystem, but it is still live. Uhm, and then you have a nice and fsck'd snapshot, but your live filesystem will still be
