/opt/cyrus/mailboxes.db: Not enough space

[Jim Howell]

Hi,
	Last night we had this happen again on one of our systems.  What is the 
current thinking as to the cause and/or fix to this problem?  I saw one 
response last time that said backing off to DB 4.0 would help.  Again the 
versions of things are:

Sendmail 8.12.8
Cyrus 2.1.11
Berkeley DB 4.1.24

Thanks.
Jim



Hi,
	I have an interesting problem.  Over the weekend our syslog forwarder went 
beserk generating over 300,000 messages to about 6 people.  This morning 
our three new Cyrus systems went belly up, (yes that is a technical term), 
actually the master daemon seemed to eventually freeze up.  The only real 
error msgs I can find are these:
Mar 10 00:18:16 postoffice8 lmtpd[27393]: [ID 729713 local6.error] DBERROR: 
opening /opt/cyrus/mailboxes.db: Not enough space

Mar 10 08:27:59 postoffice8 imapd[3951]: [ID 729713 local6.error] DBERROR: 
opening /opt/cyrus/mailboxes.db: Not enough space

Now I'm been running older versions of Cyrus (1.5.19) for years at 300,000 
messages a day with no trouble.  I don't believe space is really an issue, 
here is a df -k from one of the systems.

This is all with Cyrus 2.1.11 on a V880 with 32GB of memory with Solaris 8 
and, Sendmail 8.12.8.  Anyone seen this before?  Thanks.
