Heya guys!
We're running rt4 on an Ubuntu 12.04 system. We're in the process of moving to
a new server, and as part of that process I'm trying to us rt-shredder to cull
out old resolved/rejected/deleted tickets. I've run into an issue where
rt-shredder is encountering a ticket with too many dependencies. No problem, I
think, and I tweak the DependenciesLimit upwards. Still doesn't work. So I
tweak it up a bit more, and then a bit more, and then a bit more... and
finally, with the DependenciesLimit up at 50000, rt-shredder will actually take
a crack at it.
Looking at the sqldump file as it comes out, it appears to all be one single
"deleted" ticket with a huge mail loop.
However, rt-shredder just churns and churns, gradually consuming all of the
memory on the system. I actually went ahead and added 26GB of Swap just to see
if it would complete, but eventually it used that up too, and killed the
rt-shredder proc in the middle of last night.
The rt-shredder sqldump file from this 10 hour attempt to remove that single
problem ticket is 5.4GB.
So, I guess my question is whether anyone has any better suggestion for how to
get rid of this ticket?
Thanks,
- Luke
