*ouch* Cyrus just died on me: DBERROR: opening /var/imap/mailboxes.db: Not enough space

[Paul Boven]

Hi everyone,

Last evening Cyrus died on me. Fortunately all messages were queued and
nothing was lost, but I can't make sense of the error-messages.
And I'd like to know, in order to ensure this doesn't happen again.

System is a SunFire V120, Solaris 9, Cyrus 2.1.10 (same one I messaged a 
few days ago regarding the performance problems with ctl_cyrusdb)

 From /var/log/imapd.log:
master[9764]: [ID 392559 local6.debug] about to exec 
/usr/local/cyrus/bin/lmtpd
lmtpunix[9764]: [ID 518349 local6.debug] executed
lmtpd[9764]: [ID 729713 local6.error] DBERROR: opening 
/var/imap/mailboxes.db: Not enough space
lmtpd[9764]: [ID 729713 local6.error] DBERROR: opening 
/var/imap/mailboxes.db: cyrusdb error
lmtpd[9764]: [ID 157947 local6.error] FATAL: can't read mailboxes file
lmtpd[9764]: [ID 866726 local6.warning] DBERROR db4: Database handles 
open during environment close
lmtpd[9764]: [ID 688962 local6.error] DBERROR: error exiting 
application: Invalid argument
lmtpd[9764]: [ID 688962 local6.error] DBERROR: error exiting 
application: cyrusdb error
master[623]: [ID 310780 local6.debug] process 9764 exited, status 75

I can't explain the error-message 'not enough space'. I have the 
cricket-graphs here, and the machine never lacked diskspace or memory, 
in fact it has never paged since it was turned on.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Regards, Paul Boven.
