[Dovecot] Bug in dovecot 1.2 dict
Hi Timo,
Hi *,
in 1.2 the dict server (tested with sqlite backend) is somewhat broken.
It bails out regularly with Fatal: dict: Socket already exists: ...
(looks like a race condition as it doesn't fail always).
We discovered that this new code in dict-server.c seems to be the problem:
server-fd = net_listen_unix_unlink_stale(path, 64);
if (server-fd == -1) {
if (errno == EADDRINUSE)
i_fatal(Socket already exists: %s, path);
else
i_fatal(net_listen_unix(%s) failed: %m, path);
}
replacing it with the old code:
int i = 0;
[...]
while (server-fd == -1) {
server-fd = net_listen_unix(path, 64);
if (server-fd != -1)
break;
if (errno != EADDRINUSE || ++i == 2)
i_fatal(net_listen_unix(%s) failed: %m, path);
/* see if it really exists */
if (net_connect_unix(path) != -1 || errno != ECONNREFUSED)
i_fatal(Socket already exists: %s, path);
/* delete and try again */
if (unlink(path) 0)
i_fatal(unlink(%s) failed: %m, path);
}
fixes the problem. But I think the real fix would have to be done in
the new function `net_listen_unix_unlink_stale'.
cheers

It turns out the problem is that net_listen_unix_unlink_stale is called even
if a file descriptor is passed into dict_server_init. The attached patch
fixes it for me.

[Dovecot] Any suggestions for backing up an imap server and whould maildir or dbox be better than mbox?
Hi, we run a Red Hat EL 5.2 mailserver with dovecot as the imap server. Mails are stored in mbox format and there are about 134GB of mail. At the moment users copy their importent mail to their workstation accounts wich are backed up nightly. What are your suggestions to back up the mails not copied? Thanks for any comments. BTW: Dose changing the mailbox format from mbox to Maildir or dbox dose have any advantages?

At the moment users copy their importent mail to their workstation accounts wich are backed up nightly. What are your suggestions to back up the mails not copied? Thanks for any comments. You can simply rsync the whole mail store. Gets pretty efficient after the first run. Or take a look at rdiff-backup if you need to store previous copies.

BTW: Dose changing the mailbox format from mbox to Maildir or dbox dose have any advantages? I don't think it makes any difference in this case. It would make a difference if you were to Rsync. Since Rsync is done on a file level; with mbox every new message means that the entire mbox file will need to be copied out. If you are using Maildir or dbox when you run an rsync it will only copy over the new messages since last Rsync run, being that it's a single new file per message. Of course this holds true with any incremental type backups. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
