Hi,
on one of the computers I manage, I have seamonkey mail writing data
continuously on the NFS storage.
nethogs shows:
TID PRIO USER DISK READ DISK WRITE SWAPIN IO> COMMAND
8639 be/4 guillaud 0.00 B/s 21.56 M/s 0.00 % 38.51 %
seamonkey -mail
and iftop confirms the io continuously.
I've setup seamonkey to consult the mail server only every 5 mn and
disabled automatic folder compression.
But no change....
Seamonkey is seamonkey-2.21-4.ESR_24.3.0.el6.x86_64.
Thanks for your advices.
Patrick
Patrick, Why did you turn off automatic folder compression?? In doing so,
you have set yourself up for creating a huge inbox folder which will be
looking for more and more space on your HD.
Hi Daniel,
Yes, I know this but I would like to understand what is this continuous disk
access. So I've disabled this automatic compression at this time.
Try File->Empty Trash then File->Compact Folders and see what happens.
This doesn't solve the problem. Since yesterday, I've worked on this problem
but still no solution.
That I know now is:
- The file concerned by this continous write is
.mozilla/seamonkey/aw16q4e9.default/addons.sqlite-journal
- Seamonkey-mail write nearly 10 Mbytes/s in this file.
- the content of the file must be overwriten, as its size doesnt grow.
- a strings command on the file show mainly ocurences of
"https://addons.cdn.mozilla.net/img/uploads/previews/.../xxx.png" URLs.
I've restarted seamonkey with all plugin disabled but it doesn't change and
moreover seamonkey seam to hang now when asking again for this page
(about:addons).
As the home is a NFS storage, this client generate an average network load of
100Mbits/s continuously

Have a look here:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=804092
Could be two users running Firefox and accessing your nfs storage locks
passing from one to the other ....

Hi Raymond,
Thanks a lot for thos link: it was the problem!
As I restrict my google search to seamonkey keyword I've not find it before.
Some weeks ago, seamonkey-mail hangs on this PC and the mailbox get corrupted.
The user has launched a restore of his .mozilla tree from the backup server,
removed the locks files (may be I should exclude these files from the backup)
and started a new saemonkey-mail session. But the old seamonkey-mail session was
still active in background, without any visible graphic interface.
And these linux PC are runing 7days/7, 24h/24, so no reboot to clear the
session...
nethog command was showing a seamonkey-mail command with high netwok activity
but I didn't notice different PID.
I've asked the user to close his seamonkey session and I've killed the remaining
semonkey process. Now all is OK.
Thanks again!
Patrick
