Following up on my previous post about stuck lmtpd processes. I found
this incredibly detailed faq at:
http://www.faqchest.com/prgm/cyrus-l/cyrus-01/cyrus-0111/cyrus-011102/cyrus01111023_33254.html
This isn't exactly the same problem, but the steps on that page helped me
figure out that they are all stuck trying to get a lock on:
/private/cyrus/mail/k/user/krolickp/cyrus.header
Looking at /proc/locks shows:
7: POSIX ADVISORY WRITE 21903 08:11:42107658 0 EOF d23895e0 c3217f44 c510e4c4 00000000 ccbf076c
7: -> POSIX ADVISORY WRITE 32485 08:11:42107658 0 EOF ccbf0760 ee36ac44 f3bb26a4 d23895e0 ee36ac4c
7: -> POSIX ADVISORY WRITE 1802 08:11:42107658 0 EOF ee36ac40 c050ea04 ccbf0764 d23895e0 c050ea0c
7: -> POSIX ADVISORY WRITE 1217 08:11:42107658 0 EOF c050ea00 ee36a344 ee36ac44 d23895e0 ee36a34c
...
I don't see how this deadlock occurred, but I'm willing to help debug it.
