installed, but won't run FC3

What kind of filesystem is /opt/zimbra? (It's not NFS, is it?)

[exothermic]

No it is a virtual file system, from virtuozo (vps)

[marcmac]

The virtuozo file system doesn't seem to support file locking, which is a requirement for ldap, and for mysql.

[exothermic]

I know that isn't the case since I run both ldap and mysql servers on various vps's. In fact there seem to be very many things at all that don't run on virtuozo, only very low level items.

What else could this be?

Might have been the type of LDAP backend or MySQL table types you used. In general not much else we can help with. We don't reccomend folks use virtual servers and never test those configurations in house. Maybe someone out in the community has other ideas.

I think it would be sad to write this off as having anything to do with virturozo. There is never a "type" of ldap or mysql that I use that is unique to my installations. I have run both openldap, and mysql, on vps with: FC 1,2,3 RHES3, Debian, Suse, etc. All with nothing more specific that yum install package (or something akin to the distro), and all from distro repositories, not virtuozo repositories.

I'm 99% sure this is exclusive from the VE. Am I going to have to reproduce this on an actual box to get anymore help?

Pretty much. We've never seen this before on any FC or Red Hat install we or anyone in the community has run. So from our point of view it's the virtual machine. It would b a big help to remove that as a posibility for a problem.

[marcmac]

To be clear - it's not ldap, in itself, throwing the error - it's the Berkeley DB, sleepycat, that's complaining about the file locking.

[exothermic]

Well I do stand corrected, it appears that the db4 is compiled for NPTL, which virtuozzo's kernel does not support. I don't think it is the file system, it is just the threading of the kernel.

Is it really necessary for zimbra to be this dependent on lowlevel requirments?

Anyway is it still possible that I am going to be able to compile this from scratch, or are these fundamental requirements?

Thanks

You can recompile bdb and give it a shot.
