Since upgrading to 9.1 I've been getting errors retrieving my email via
IMAP. They don't appear to actually prevent anything, but they are
annoying at least. (And while I haven't noticed anything else that is
having the same errors that doesn't mean it's not happening...)
The errors I'm getting are:
Failed to connect to socket /tmp/fam-daniel/fam-
Failed to create cache file: maildirwatch (daniel)
Error: Input/output error
Check for proper operation and configuration
of the File Access Monitor daemon (famd).
('daniel' of course being the name of my user.) I'm using courier-IMAP and
gamin. The only thing I can find online on this is someone else on the
freebsd forums who had the same problem ~8 years ago, who eventually gave
up and switched to fam. (Well, other than the ones that say 'install
fam/gamin', which I have installed, but doesn't appear to be working.) I
have rebuilt and reinstalled both courier-IMAP and gamin. (I actually did
a 'rebuild all dependencies' for gamin.) Permissions on the /tmp and
/tmp/fam-daniel directories are as I'd expect. I've also increased
kern.maxfiles to 100000, to make sure it can handle my large maildir
directories. (Though this wasn't a problem before I upgraded.)
Anyone have any other ideas on where I can start troubleshooting? (And
yes, I'm considering upgrading to Dovecot, but I want to know everything is
working first.)
