An issue on our CephFS cluster impacts the IMAP email services. CephFS does not allow the removal op files. As a result new emails might not show up in mailclients and emails cannot be deleted. New emails are received though. Because the incident is CephFS related more impact on other services might be possible. Engineers are investigating the incident and this notice will be updated as soon as more info becomes available.

The deployed change has resolved the incident. The number of 'stray entries' on the cluster was growing very fast and hitted a set limit. Strays are pointer to files that have been deleted or files that will be deleted. The increase of strays was caused by a migration of a large number of files into the cluster.
