Greetings;
Over the last several days, kmail has gotten so unstable its not
usable. Now tdewallet has also died, I have submitted 20+ crash
reports, no reply, and I've no clue if it will even send this
message. How about some help or an acnowlegement of the problem.
I've rebooted, even re-installed all of kmail to no avail. I've
also run memtest about 3 full cycles, no errors.
Cheers, Gene Heskett
Let me add a bit more info to this kmail thread.
I just changed kernels on this machine, from 4.9.0.9-rt to
4.9.0.9, without the rt. Kmail always has a cow over to folders
indices, so I expected to get a message about spam and spam-hold
which both get touched by external scripts or by me moving
messages around, but even if a nuke all the index files and then
start or restart kmail, it has the rebuild done in 15 minutes or
so.
But not this time. And lsof |grep index|wc -l shows its gone
berzackers: gene@coyote:~/PublicA$ lsof |grep Mail|wc -l
310
gene@coyote:~/PublicA$ lsof |grep Mail|wc -l
310
gene@coyote:~/PublicA$ lsof |grep index|wc -l
520
gene@coyote:~/PublicA$ lsof |grep index|wc -l
638
And it just keeps growing the number. So I'm going to stop it,
and nuke then all. Then restart and time it.
Back to a stable kmail, but it crashed about 2 secs after the first
start. With zero indices it took 1:31 to start, but its still using
a whole core at 100%, and the wc -l is growing by 10 or 20 almost
everytime I rerun the lsof to get a new count
gene@coyote:~$ lsof |grep Mail|grep .index|wc -l
220
gene@coyote:~$ lsof |grep Mail|grep .index|wc -l
240
gene@coyote:~$ lsof |grep Mail|grep .index|wc -l
260
gene@coyote:~$ lsof |grep Mail|grep .index|wc -l
270
gene@coyote:~$ lsof |grep Mail|grep .index|wc -l
270
gene@coyote:~$ lsof |grep Mail|grep .index|wc -l
280
And theres only about 41 directorys, but 2 of those have 16 and 18
subdirs so theres not quite 80 dirs all told.
but there are 70147 msgs if I did it right, looks low.
gene@coyote:~$ lsof |grep Mail|grep .index|wc -l
380
Ladies and Gentlemen, I think we have a bug.
Now this might not be a solution for you, but attorny prints out every
email he receives and each he sends. then he build subdirectories of
physical folders. Think he has 50 meters of them ...

A sense of humor helps. Doesn't fix it, but the grin makes me feel
better. And now I'd better go get my lady her daily dose of crossword
puzzles, and a few cans of pork and beans. I thought I had some but
didn't, took the pantry apart looking though when she wanted a teeny
bowl for lunch. This girl has probably never tasted a good ribeye or
filly mignon in her life. School teachers eat fast & cheap. Hard
habits to break and I've been working on it for 30 years. Hopeless I
tell you, hopeless.
