[AMaViS-user] filling up temp directory/partition
email builder
We use tmpfs for amavis work directory. See
http://www.stahl.bau.tu-bs.de/~hildeb/postfix/amavisd_tmpfs.shtml
We had amavis puke the other day when it filled up that partition and
everything stopped working. We just thought we had under-sized it. So we
fixed everything up and bumped the tmpfs size to 256MB. We have five amavis
server instances and 10M (default) Postifx size limit.
However, amavis just did the same thing: filled up all 256Megs and stopped
responding to connections. Where can I start to debug this? It's been
working fine for quite a few months before this. We are running v2.2.1 (will
upgrade help?).
Logs look like hundreds of these:
amavis[22135]: (22135-01) LMTP TROUBLE, ABORTING: Can't write to mail file:
No space left on device at (eval 36) line 552, <GEN2> chunk 89.
amavis[22135]: (22135-01) LMTP: NOTICE: ABORTING the session: Can't write to
mail file: No space left on device at (eval 36) line 552, <GEN2> chunk 89.
amavis[22135]: (22135-02) TROUBLE in process_request: Can't rewind mail file:
No space left on device at (eval 36) line 111.
amavis[22135]: (22135-02) Requesting process rundown after fatal error
Help?

Look back *before* it filled up and this started, and look for error
messages back there. If it's filling up, it probably means that some
amavisd processes are dying and leaving the mail in the temp directory
as "evidence". Probably some bad emails in your queue, waiting for
scanning, are crashing some Perl library and doing it again each time
they pass through. UUlib seems to be one of the usual offenders in
this regard.

Yeah, after doing some more reading (should have done so before posting, but
thought it was due to active servers, not the remains of dead ones - my
mistake), I upgraded UULib... have the logs turned up in anticipation of
figuring out the problem now, but it isn't happening at all, so maybe UULib
was the problem...
Thanks!
