There is a much less complex solution that I've just recently gotten
working
in the SUSE kernel. If reiser3/ext3 don't log the inode during atime
updates, the problem goes away.
You can solve this now by mounting with -o noatime (although that might
not
play well with cyrus, not sure). My current patch works around this in
ugly
ways, what I plan on doing during OLS is finding out why ext3 is still
logging the inode all the time.
Well we have always mounted our cyrus filesystems with:
noatime,nodiratime,notail
And the problem was occuring all the time with these mount options. We've
since also added on your suggestion nolargeio=1 and used the patch Vladimir
created. I'm not sure which of those fixed the problem, but it definitely
has not occured since we did those last 2 things.
Are you saying that if you mount with noatime *and* use your new patch it
will fix the problem?
What about the 2 threads linked to. Did those end up getting anywhere?
