I came in this morning to find that both my qmail servers were totally
loaded up with messages to be sent, and not sending more than 5
concurrently. (my remote concurrency is 120)
So, I looked at top and slocate was eating cpu. I killed slocate, and
restarted qmail. Its been running for 20 minutes now, at 100% cpu
utilization. ls -R /var/qmail/queue/info | wc -l shows 74,500 lines. I'm
not running a bigtodo patch, which may be a problem at this point.
I disabled tcpserver so that more messages won't interfere with the
processing of the current queue.
These systems have fast disks and fast CPUs. Should I let it continue
munging on the data and hope it cranks through, or should I do something
else...
The log file shows nothing since restart at this time....
