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.
Back later with the results.
