Warning: fd limit 2000 is lower than what Dovecot can use under full load (more than 2054). Either grow the limit or change login_max_processes_count and max_mail_processes settings

So I changed the no_size and no_size_hard to 3500 and 4000 respectively in both dovecot and root

AIX defines nosize:* *Sets the soft limit for the number of file descriptors a user process may have open at one time.

an lsuser dovecot returns:

dovecot id=417 pgrp=dovecot groups=dovecot shell=/bin/false daemon=true admin=false ... fsize=2097151 cpu=-1 data=262144 stack=65536 core=2097151 rss=65536 nofiles=3500 nofiles_hard=4000
I kill dovecot and all children and restart it....same error message

What am I missing? Does the machine have to be rebooted for the no_size to be updated?


AIX should not have to be rebooted for this to happen. For debug, I would change the shell to a real shell; change the fsize to 600 or something small; logout and then login(as root and then su or just as the user) and try to make large files and verify limits. Ping me off list for more debugging unless people consider this on topic.
