Exclamation Big problem after "out of disk space"
Hi, a situation I don't recommend to anyone.
My disk went full.
After I released some space, the Zimbra refuses to start.

I see that Postfix has launched postmap to recreate new aliases. So:

Code:
ls /etc/alias*
there is only the /etc/aliases and NOT the /etc/aliases.db !

Then I did:

Code:
newaliases
the command remains stucked (doesn't exit) and with a 'top' command:

Code:
  PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND
10600 root      25   0  6500 1688 1324 R 98.5  0.1   3:17.09 postalias
with a :

Code:
   ps exf | grep postalias
Code:
11002 pts/4    S+     0:00      \_ grep postalias JAVA_JVM_VERSION=1.5 SHELL=/bin/bash TERM=xterm PERL5LIB=/opt/zimbra/zimbramon/lib/x86_64-linux-thread-multi:/opt/zimbra/zimbramon/lib:/opt/zimbra/zimbramon/lib/i386-linux-thread-multi:/opt/zimbra/zimbramon/lib/i486-linux-gnu-thread-multi:/opt/zimbra/zimbramon/lib/i586-linux-thread-multi:/opt/zimbra/zimbramon/lib/darwin-thread-multi-2level USER=zimbra LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/zimbra/lib: SNMPCONFPATH=/opt/zimbra/conf USERNAME=zimbra MAIL=/var/mail/zimbra PATH=/opt/zimbra/bin:/opt/zimbra/zimbramon:/opt/zimbra/postfix-2.2.9/sbin:/opt/zimbra/openldap/bin:/opt/zimbra/java/bin:/opt/zimbra/snmp/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games PWD=/opt/zimbra/bin JAVA_HOME=/opt/zimbra/java LANG=CPERLLIB=/opt/zimbra/zimbramon/lib/x86_64-linux-thread-multi:/opt/zimbra/zimbramon/lib:/opt/zimbra/zimbramon/lib/i386-linux-thread-multi:/opt/zimbra/zimbramon/lib/i486-linux-gnu-thread-multi:/opt/zimbra/zimbramon/lib/i586-linux-thread-multi:/opt/zimbra/zimbramon/lib/darwin-thread-multi-2level SHLVL=1 HOME=/opt/zimbra LANGUAGE=it_IT:it:en_GB:en BASH_ENV=/opt/zimbra/.bashrc LOGNAME=zimbra ZIMBRA_HOME=/opt/zimbra _=/bin/grep OLDPWD=/opt/zimbra
how can I do?

I forgot the /etc/alias:

Code:
zimbra@grass:~/bin$ cat /etc/aliases
# Added by installer for initial user
yes, it's empty.

The same thing has happened to our server. I got a support ticket put in this morning and I believe they're working on fixing it.

I used the Zimbra VMware Appliance and they only provide you with 1.8Gbs worth of hard drive space. We got two users on there, each with 20Mbs of data, and then added a third with about 30Mbs of data and the server crashed and won't come back up. When tech support lets me know what to do I'll be sure to post it here.

Actually, on Friday, they said that I basically had to reinstall and try to restore from a backup. This isn't a solution to this problem. Once we get our Zimbra server, if we run out of disk space, I don't want to have to reinstall the whole suite just to get it back up and running. It is a ridiculous "solution."

You may have the same situation as myself ...

Did an strace on the postmap process (Using 100% of the cpu)...

It was stuck in this cycle:

stat64("/opt/zimbra/conf/postfix_header_checks.db", 0xbf848900) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/opt/zimbra/conf/__db.postfix_header_checks.db", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_EXCL|O_LARGEFILE, 0644) = -1 EEXIST (File exists)
open("/opt/zimbra/conf/__db.postfix_header_checks.db", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_EXCL|O_LARGEFILE, 0644) = -1 EEXIST (File exists)
open("/opt/zimbra/conf/__db.postfix_header_checks.db", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_EXCL|O_LARGEFILE, 0644) = -1 EEXIST (File exists)

Looks like it was looking for the one file, finding that it wasn't there, trying to create another file as a result (Which existed) and looped from there. I move the /opt/zimbra/conf/__db.postfix_header_checks.db to /opt/zimbra/conf/__db.postfix_header_checks.db.old after killing all the zimbra processes off and restarted and it started fine.
