DB ERROR

[alfatec]

I have just started getting the following error:
DBERROR: ARCHIVE /VAR/IMAP/DB: CYRUSDB ERROR
All my mail and webmail services seem to be OK but this appears approx every 1/2 hour when the Cyrus DB gets checked. Anybody any idea what it is?

The application throwing the error is Cyrus-imap, because of a problem it's having with db4.

Is this by chance a redhat based distro running an AMD CPU? If so, see

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=91933#c0

No this is an OSX Server running 10.3.6. Using postfix and Cyrus.

Bug may be applicable to you anyway:

Description of problem:

db4 should never be compiled with '--enable-posixmutexes' because it causes too much problems which can not be solved.

The current (posix-enabled) db4 does not work with non-NPTL kernels and so packages like subversion can not operate on systems with vanilla kernels or RHL kernels for i[345]86 architectures.

Suggest you try rebuilding db4 and see if it solves the issue.
