RE: [vchkpw] Problems upgrading from 5.2 to 5.4.0

I've turned domain quotas off, and the problem was solved.
Thanks for helping.


  
   Hi all,
   
   I'm having some problems trying to upgrade my vpopmail 5.2 
  to 5.4.0. The
   compilation goes well (no errors at this stage), but after the
   instalation, just a few minutes later, the load of the 
  server begins to
   get high, very high... :-(. When issuing a top, I see a lot 
  of process
   of vdelivermail eating all cpu resources:

 I bet you now have quota support enabled, and you did not 
 before.  


Actually, I already had quota support enabled, but just for user
accounts, not for the entire domain.


 That means that the first time vdelivermail attempts to deliver mail
to an 
 account it must scan all the existing mail to determine the 
 file space 
 being used.

Can the new feature of domain quota be causing this behaviour
too? Although I had enabled the domain quota support, I did not set any
domain quota yet. Even in this case, will vpopmail still scan my domains
in order to calculate these disk usages?

 
 You can either disable quota support, or just live with it.  Once 
 everyone has received their first new email their disk usage 
 information 
 will be cached, and the number of full directory scans will 
 go way down.
 
 It is bad at first because every new message is to a user 
 without cached 
 disk usage information.
