Hi all, I'm having some problems trying to upgrade my vpopmail 5.2 to 5.4.0. The compilation goes well (no errors at this stage), but after the instalation, just a few minutes later, the load of the server begins to get high, very high... :-(. When issuing a top, I see a lot of process of vdelivermail eating all cpu resources:
------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ Last pid: 94268; load averages: 34.92, 14.57, 8.28 up 6+01:40:03 16:22:59 175 processes: 36 running, 119 sleeping, 20 zombie CPU states: 40.5% user, 0.0% nice, 58.0% system, 1.6% interrupt, 0.0% idle Mem: 76M Active, 300M Inact, 89M Wired, 23M Cache, 61M Buf, 12M Free Swap: 1500M Total, 348K Used, 1500M Free PID USERNAME PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE TIME WCPU CPU COMMAND 92591 vpopmail 62 0 2516K 1456K RUN 0:05 3.50% 3.47% vdelivermail 92083 vpopmail 61 0 2516K 1460K RUN 0:08 3.33% 3.32% vdelivermail 91842 vpopmail 61 0 2516K 1244K RUN 0:10 3.28% 3.27% vdelivermail 92320 vpopmail 62 0 2516K 1452K RUN 0:06 3.29% 3.27% vdelivermail 92588 vpopmail 62 0 2516K 1456K RUN 0:05 3.30% 3.27% vdelivermail 92773 vpopmail 63 0 2516K 1456K RUN 0:04 3.28% 3.22% vdelivermail 93178 vpopmail 62 0 2516K 1456K RUN 0:03 3.26% 3.08% vdelivermail 93464 vpopmail 62 0 2516K 1448K RUN 0:02 2.90% 2.49% vdelivermail 93366 vpopmail 61 0 2516K 1464K RUN 0:02 2.58% 2.29% vdelivermail ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ My guess is that the bootleneck is in the filesystem, but I cant figure out how to avoid this.. Here is my configure command: ./configure --enable-tcpserver-file=/RAID0/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp --enable-auth-module=ldap \ --enable-roaming-users=y --enable-logging=p --disable-clear-passwd --enable-domainquotas=y \ --enable-md5-passwords=n --enable-file-locking=n --disable-users-big-dir /RAID0 points to a dedicated disk, where I put the queue and the archives related to roaming users (open smtp, tcp.cdb, etc), trying to achieve better IO performance.... My configuration is: FreeBSD 4.9-p4 Vpopmail 5.4.0 (was 5.2) OpenLDAP Qmail 1.03 Thanks in advance! _______________________________________ ALMEIDA, Fernando Costa de Computeasy Informática www.computeasy.com.br BSD USER BSD050945 ICQ 72293951
