Timo, last year when you remoted into our server and performed the
migration from courier-imap, we ran into this issue, and you solved it
by doing:
echo 1024 > /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_instances
Then you said you were going to solve this permanently by changing the
init script...
Here is what you said (this is from the skype chat):
[2012-06-04 10:40:43 AM] timosirainen: probably put to dovecot init
script or something
Actually found this a but later during the chat, which looks much
better. I guess when you said 'it looks up a good value from doveconf',
that one could specify the value in the config file and it would use
whatever was there?
Anyway, here is what you said (to refresh your memory):
timosirainen: i can do that. btw i've today been building RPMs for dovecot
timosirainen: and in that init.d script i'm also adding this
timosirainen: i'll make it somewhat automatic though
timosirainen: if [ "$INOTIFY_INSTANCES" != "" ]; then
if [ "$INOTIFY_INSTANCES" = "auto" ]; then
INOTIFY_INSTANCES=`$doveadm config -h service/imap/process_limit`
if [ "$INOTIFY_INSTANCES" = 0 ]; then
INOTIFY_INSTANCES=`$doveadm config -h default_process_limit`
fi
increase_proc_value /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches
$INOTIFY_INSTANCES
increase_proc_value /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_instances
$INOTIFY_INSTANCES

timosirainen: it looks up a good value from doveconf
