reconstruct on Inbox with 9664 messages fails

Folks,I am trying to reconstruct an Inbox with 9664 messages. Reconstruct fails to do it but returns '0' and spits out no messages.How do I reconstruct such a large inbox or any mail folder?keith

Keith,

I would take a look in the various messaging server logs and /var/adm/messages. there's a chance you may be exhausting a system resource, ie out of disk/swap space etc.

I have several users with over 20,000 messages and over 2GB of mail. I haven't experienced any reconstruction issues. Platform: Solaris 8 w/Cluster 3.0 4GB RAM.

HTH,

I looked in all log files and there are no errors generated. It shows the reconstructs executing but no error messages.keith

I was number the email msgs incorrently as I was putting them in the inbox subdirs. My next question: How are messages numbered and where are they placed after 10000?keith

Keith,

There are several caching paramters that you can try adjusting upward. Among them is nsmsgAuthcachesize which is set to 10000 on my systems (production and test). The others are nsmsgLdapmemcachesize and nsmsgDbcachesize.

It's just a (wild) guess that reconstruct is running out of space/memory. Also, there is a msg.conf:local.tmpdir parameter. Maybe that directory is running out of space (or inodes).
