We currently have 1.200.000+ mailboxes split in 3 backend servers using 1 frontend / master server (both services running on the same server) for a grand total of 3.400.000+ mailboxes and subfolders.
the servers are used for imap access only. no pop3, no sieve scripts, no nntp, nothing else besides imap.
Now, the problem in question.
after some days running smoothly I start getting errors on the master/frontend server. It has happened a few times now..
So far I've seen it happen only on the master/frontend server.. not on the backend servers.
the errors:
cyrus/mupdate[1433]: DBERROR: skiplist recovery /var/lib/imap/mailboxes.db: 141BAD94 should be ADD or DELETE cyrus/mupdate[1433]: DBERROR: error updating database user.1215407: cyrusdb error
then after some time I start getting these:
cyrus/lmtp[1276]: authentication to remote mupdate server failed: EOF from server cyrus/lmtp[1276]: couldn't connect to 10.1.5.101: no authentication to server
after a little more time
cyrus/imap[30969]: kick_mupdate: can't connect to target: Connection refused cyrus/lmtp[2240]: mupdate-client: connection to server closed: end of file reached cyrus/lmtp[2240]: couldn't connect to 10.1.5.101: no connection to server
then this is what I get when trying to restart cyrus frontend/master
cyrus/ctl_cyrusdb[30607]: recovering cyrus databases cyrus/ctl_cyrusdb[30607]: DBERROR: skiplist recovery /var/lib/imap/mailboxes.db: 141BAD94 should be ADD or DELETE cyrus/ctl_cyrusdb[30607]: DBERROR: opening /var/lib/imap/mailboxes.db: cyrusdb error
what I need to do next is completely delete the dbs from the master/frontend and reimport all the mailboxes.
Thank you very much,
João Assad
Below is my frontend/master configuration
cyrus.conf
START {
do not delete this entry!
recover cmd="ctl_cyrusdb -r" }
UNIX sockets start with a slash and are put into /var/lib/imap/sockets
SERVICES {
add or remove based on preferences
mupdate cmd="mupdate -m" listen=3905 prefork=1 lmtp cmd="lmtpproxyd" listen="lmtp" prefork=0 imap cmd="proxyd" listen="imap" prefork=0 }
EVENTS {
this is required
checkpoint cmd="ctl_cyrusdb -c" period=240 }
