Hello readers, I've googled around but I've failed to find anything that resembles what our mail gateway has suddenly started experiencing: the nightly sa-learn --rebuild --force-expire stuck forever (shows with 'D' state in 'ps auxw' -> uninterruptible IO wait) and using _huge_ amounts of memory (600+ Mb). Can't strace it.
This machine has been rock stable for quite some time and no significant change has been made lately. Is this just a case of 'your Bayes DB is corrupt, delete it' or is there something else to try first? Info: - Linux RH 7.3 w/ 2.4.20 kernel and most patches - Perl 5.6.1 - SA v2.54 (yes I know, old... but it's been so stable) - Amavisd-new with global flat-file settings - Postfix The sa-learn --rebuild --force-expire is run nightly at 4AM without stopping amavisd-new (could that be the problem?). Our local.cf has only local whitelist entries, a couple of simple tune-ups probably not relevant, and: bayes_expiry_scan_count 500000 bayes_expiry_use_scan_count 1 Any hints quite appreciated, even 'been there, zapped the whole DB'.
