Hi,
I've seen similar things here.
>Jun 6 06:57:59 Mercury pop3d[2888]: error sending to idled: 2
Means that something has crashed badly.
>Jun 6 06:57:48 Mercury imapd[3676]: Could not shut down filedescriptor
0: Socket is not connected
Means your client has dropped out 'uncleanly'.
Or at least this is what I gather after hours of 'fun'.
I do however have a solution, I was running a ctl_cyrusdb -r followed by
a reconstruct and still
getting the problems.. which sort of lead me to believe it wasn't a DB
problem. However, I noticed
that every time I ran a reconstruct I ended up with more DB problems a
little later. (!)
My fix;;
(now you'll probably tell me I should have known this, but because (a)
it let me and (b) I don't want to shut down the system, I didn't try it
earlier)
Shut down Cyrus and let incoming queue and users cry.
ctl_cyrusdb -r
reconstruct
Start Cyrus back up.
All is now well with the world and at present I'm not seeing more
problems....
Either there is a bug and the recovery/reconstruct code isn't locking
properly, or we need some "bigger" notices in the docs to let people
know these things need a cyrus shutdown....
HTH
