Hello, I have a problem with dbmail on Freebsd. The situation is that dbmail fills all the /tmp space (seems to not releasing used space/opened file) and when it's full the imap daemon starts acting strange, postfix cant flush new mails ... (pop daemon still works). We have 2 installations with identical symptoms.
1. Our setup FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE-p7 dbmail 2.2.11 Mysql 5.0 hosted on dedicated server The problem happen rarely (once in a few month) could be because the low traffic volume. #du -h /tmp shows 88K used #df -h /tmp shows 89M used # lsof | grep /tmp | grep dbmail shows lots of open files .. ..... dbmail-im 97091 nobody 18u VREG 0,92 82761 269 /tmp (/dev/da0s1e) dbmail-im 97091 nobody 19u VREG 0,92 82761 274 /tmp (/dev/da0s1e) dbmail-im 97091 nobody 20u VREG 0,92 1176746 275 /tmp (/dev/da0s1e) dbmail-im 97091 nobody 21u VREG 0,92 57917 279 /tmp (/dev/da0s1e) ..... summing the sizes seems to cerate these 89M case Nr 2 is an installation for our client FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE-p11 dbmail 2.2.11 Mysql also hosted on other server It takes ~ 1 week to fill the /tmp #du -h /tmp shows 734K # df -h /tmp shows 278M #lsof | grep /tmp | grep dbmail shows lots of open files ..... dbmail-im 97519 nobody 17u VREG 0,89 12840447 69 /tmp (/dev/ad0s1e) dbmail-im 97519 nobody 18u VREG 0,89 9689295 72 /tmp (/dev/ad0s1e) dbmail-im 97519 nobody 19u VREG 0,89 327779 78 /tmp (/dev/ad0s1e) dbmail-im 97519 nobody 20u VREG 0,89 447281 81 /tmp (/dev/ad0s1e) .... The probleam was also for dbmail 2.2.10 and some earlier versions For now we have to periodically restart dbmail-imap daemon to release /tmp. Also i have noticed that if i restart mysql (witch is on different server) /tmp is also freed. How can i be useful to help solve this problem?
