Fix: Filesystem notification initialization error

December 24, 2010 by Igor Drobot 5 Comments

I upgraded my Mail-server to Debian 6 – squeeze, it was everything great till I started my Thunderbird and get this Message: Filesystem notification initialization error — contact your mail administrator (check for configuration errors with the FAM/Gamin library)

This error can be seen in your mail client and is often caused by Courier. If you are the administrator of the mail server, simply install libgamin instead of libfam as follows:

1
aptitude install gamin

aptitude install gamin

Now restart all courier services:

1
find /etc/init.d/ | grep courier | while read line; do $line restart; done

find /etc/init.d/ | grep courier | while read line; do $line restart; done
