Hi all,
I am running a mail server for family and friends based on Dovecot
and Docker. Today I made a weird observation which I must have
overlooked for a long time so far because they logs were written to
the journal. However, I am usually only investigating the Docker logs.
It seems that some e-mail indexing leads to segfaults and it seems to
be related only with Solr and Tika. I have auto-indexing turned on so
sometimes the indexer-worker crashes when moving mails from one
folder to the other or searching for mails otherwise. Also, if I try
to manually reindex using doveadm index, the doveadm process quits
with a segfault.
I am always running the most recent Dovecot version, in this case
2.3.11.3, but I am not neccessarily up-to-date with Solr or Tika. I
am on Solr Version 7.4 and Tika 1.24.1. On the console I am receiving
Tika errors and on the Solr Webinterface I see a couple of Ealry EOFs
as well.
I am not a Linux expert from a dev perspective, but it seems to me
that the client (Dovecot) closes the connection prematurely.
Does anyone have a hint? I am happy to provide more information if
required. I need to know how to collect them, though.
Best,
Manuel
A fix was posted on this list which seems to avoid segfaults when
using solr+tika. I reposted it not long ago in response to another
question. Before exploring the other segfaults it would be worthwhile
getting that fix. If other segfaults continue then I suggest posting
the logging from Dovecot

Scheduled for 2.3.13.

Stephan.
