Description David Rees 2007-08-14 07:32:27 UTC
Reporting as requested by
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2007-August/msg00544.html

Every single dovecot-1.0.3-14 process wakes up once a second. With a typical
config with pop3 and imap enabled, you end up with 1 dovecot process, 1
dovecot-auth process 3 pop3-login processes and 3 imap-login processes which
means that dovecot contributes 8 wakeups a second.

If you happen to set login_processes_count high, the number of wakeups go up
correspondingly. Since login_process_per_connection defaults to yes, you also
get 1 additional wakeup per second per connection.

Comment 1 Bug Zapper 2008-05-14 13:58:21 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 7 is nearing the end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 7. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '7'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 7's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 7 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. If possible, it is recommended that you try the newest available Fedora distribution to see if your bug still exists.

Please read the Release Notes for the newest Fedora distribution to make sure it will meet your needs:
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/

This still affects F8. Have not tested F9 yet.

Still affects F9. Have not installed/tested the newer dovecot F10, yet.

Comment 7 David Rees 2009-06-09 22:59:52 UTC
Doesn't seem to affect F10 (tested dovecot-1.1.14-1.fc10.i386), so probably OK to let get closed as WONTFIX.

Comment 8 Bug Zapper 2009-07-14 15:08:00 UTC
Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
