Hi,
I'm running imap-2002b on RedHat AS3.
A user using Netscape Messenger couldn't compact his INBOX - imap said the INBOX was read-only. When I looked on the server, another user held the lock file in /tmp:
# ls -li INBOX 7094292 -rw------- 1 64763 mailusr 178262 Oct 4 16:31 INBOX
# ls -l /tmp/.*.6c4014 -rw-rw-rw- 1 23048 mailusr 5 Oct 4 06:52 /tmp/.891.6c4014
User 23048 had an imapd process:
# ps -uawx | grep 23048 #23048 27815 0.0 0.0 4656 1896 ? S 06:52 0:00 imapd root 30656 0.0 0.0 1616 496 pts/1 S 15:18 0:00 grep 27815
The INBOX for user 23048 had inode number 7094295. Is there a race condition that is being tickled? I looked in the RELNOTES for imap-2004a
but couldn't see anything relevant.
Peter
