Thanks for response. I use 2.6.27.7 vanila kernel (not gentoo-source). Didnt rebooted for about near a mounth. Yesterday i rebooted also in one of last hope that would fix something (i know that doesnt work, and it didnt, it never does :) if something isnt working). Actualy system is raning stable now again. I didnt changed anything, didnt compiled or rebooted. I just restarted cyrus and sendmail few times. And after one of this restarts it run stable. I have no idea why. There is nothing different. No system log messages about broken DB or something else. Once thing i saw strange in this 2 days was : lmtpd[3467] general protection ip:7f2e45ffdb2e sp:7fff4ee81968 error:0 in libdb-4.6.so[7f2e45f2d000+136000] in dmesg. I think this comes from new glibc. But it doesnt breake functionality by now. I have stable working for 4 hours already, system load goes down to 0.0 again. No deadlocking... I saw there is new ebuilds for berkley db 4.7.25 are in portage. Is anybody used this version already ? Maybe compiling cyrus agains this lib will perform better ? Or that looks more like kernel problem ? How i check that ? In htop the process that get 100%cpu load isnt in D state, so its not real deadlock, it just goest in some loop somewhere i suppouse under some condition that doesnt happend allways. Yesterday i also tried to downgrade to 2.3.12_p2 cyrus-imapd. But got same behavier, so i updated to 2.3.13 back again. I will report if i find something more. -- Teresa Cyrus Home Page: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/ Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/twiki List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html

Does dmesg show anything odd?
Not realy. Its quiet, only this strange messages comes in this 2 days also
in, thay allways look like that:
lmtpd[3467] general protection ip:7f2e45ffdb2e sp:7fff4ee81968 error:0 in
libdb-4.6.so[7f2e45f2d000+136000] I didnt changed anything lately, but
yesterday my cyrus starts rise cpu
But it still work already for 4 hours here, even if this message is once in
my dmesg now.
If you attach to a hung process with strace -p {pid} what does it look
like?
Now its run, and as its produktion server, i will leave it running as long
it will self :)
But next time and i am mostly sure it will come again, i will do that
strace.
I am running this mailbox already since 2003. Cyrus had some nasty problems
with berkleydb few times in the past (2.2.x versions). But for last 2 years
i never had realy a problem with it.
Did you restart the services after the update?
I am on gentoo box.
Gentoo is ok, i am self in trouble because i run unstable ~x86_64 keyword.
I know that, so i have to manage my problems self. Gentoo has nothing to do
with that.
But you've right, something with system is not right at the moment.
If cyrus goes in to the blocking state,
Sounds to be like Cyrus is not the only thing getting hung, which
indicates the problem probably lies elsewhere.
Actualy only cyrus processes are in trouble. iprune do it job, as example,
but never get out to promt.
I got my kernel now updated to 2.6.27.9. It runs now 2.6.29.7. If it crash
again, i reboot to new kernel and will see if something is changed.

Cyrus Deadblocking
Hi all, since yesterday i have strange behavier of my productive mail server, and i cannt find the reason for 2 days allready. I didnt changed anything lately, but yesterday my cyrus starts rise cpu load up to 100% and after some time it stop responding. Mostly its a lmtp process, but it happends to pop3 also, or to imapd process self. What helps - restart. There is nothing in the log what would show the problem. All sendmail processes, as they use smmapd for local delivery are blocked also. Ca. 2 weeks ago i updated glibc to 2.9 version. But it worked this two weeks fine. I am on gentoo box.

Ipurge starts from cron time to time. If cyrus goes in to the blocking state, and i manualy start ipurge i get message about how much messages will be deleted, how much scanned and etc. but process self never get to promt back. I understand that this description doesnt provide any usefull information, that will help identify problem. If i could identify it, i would already fix it probably.

imapd.conf option for setting SASL_PATH ?
I need to explicitly override what our Cyrus IMAPd/SASL build is using for SASL_PATH, as it appears to be misusing what has already been explicitly configured: http://asg.andrew.cmu.edu/archive/message.php?mailbox=archive.cyrus-saslmsg=9025 That is, it would appear that SASL does not take '--with-plugindir=/wherever' to mean Find plugins here and ONLY here. Instead, it seems to mean, APPEND (not even PREPEND!) /wherever to my compile-time generated list of places to try to find plugins. Is there a sasl_* option for imapd.conf to specify where (and ONLY where) to look for SASL plugins? As you can see, I've already posted to the cyrus-sasl list.

Are you authenticating with sieveshell as a cyrus admin user? I can't remember the details of how it works, but it is possible to create global sieve scripts, which is probably done as the cyrus admin user. You really shouldn't be giving admin rights to a regular IMAP user account. Use a separate account as cyrus admin.
