SQUAT failed and loglevel issue

[lkolchin at univ.haifa.ac.il]

Hello Dudi,
 
Thanks for your help.
 
The following syntax is working for me:
su - cyrus -c "/usr/lib/cyrus/bin/squatter -r -v user/*"
 
Can you tell me please if this process (squatter -r) is time consuming, cause I've read on the net, that people decided not to use of this reason?
 
Regards,
Leon Kolchinsky

Hi Leon,

 

This is still an SQUAT issue.

 

SQUAT aware applications expect the index file and complain if they can’t find it.

 

I manage several large scale installations (500k+ msgs per mailbox, not too many mailboxes…).

 

I can tell you the SQUAT does make the difference in these large mailboxes, apparently less effect on smaller mailboxes.

 

It makes text search within the folder lightning fast, I even have a weekly cron job that runs it…

 

I think the best solution for you is just to run squatter once so there is an index file present where it needs to be, and the error will disappear.

 

Regards,

 

Dudi

Hi,

 

I'm on SLES 9, Horde IMP is on another machine, managed by another person.

I'm running web-cyradm + Cyrus-IMAP.

When using regular Imap Clients like Kmail, OE etc. there is no 'SQUAT failed' error, so I think it's somthing connected to the IMP.

 

Any Ideas welcomed.

 

Regards,

Leon Kolchinsky

What distro? I’m on Debian so this is where I can (maybe) help…

Thanks Dudi,

 

This happens only when I use Horde IMP and there is no big speed impact without running squatter, so I prefer just to switch loglevel to 'info' instead of 'debug'

but I don't know how to do it (in what file)?

 

Anyone help?

 

Regards,

Leon Kolchinsky

Hi,

 

Run /usr/sbin/squatter -r as user cyrus on all your mailboxes, this will create the SQUAT index.
