Hi, AIX's implementation of posix_fallocate is a little bit, let me say, peculiar. Attached is a patch to "fix" (=work around) this. Without you'll see this in the logs: Jul 28 01:17:41 trevi mail:err|error dovecot: IMAP(beckerr): posix_fallocate() failed: File exists Jul 28 01:17:41 trevi mail:err|error dovecot: IMAP(beckerr): file_set_size() failed with mbox file

Hi, on a clustered Dovecot server installation that was recently moved from a shared GPFS filesystem to GFS2, occasional corruptions in the users' INBOXes started appearing, where a new incoming message would be appended directly after a block of NUL bytes, and be scanned by dovecot as being glued to the preceding message. I traced this to the file extension operation performed in

Hi, Thank you for pointing me about -xc99 flag, I have compiled and installed dovecot inplace of version 1.0.5 without any special actions on the upgrade. And after starting it immediately got in it's log file messages like: --- dovecot: Oct 16 23:10:18 Error: IMAP(seriv): file_set_size() failed with index cache file /var/spool/imap/seriv/.imap/.git-altlinux-ru/dovecot.index.cache: Invalid

After V1.2 had been up for a while, I started seeing tons of syslog error messages like this: Nov 5 09:11:52 mercury mail:err|error dovecot: IMAP(sdean): stat(/var/dcindx/sdean/.imap/DadEstate) failed: Permission denied (euid=202(sdean) egid=200(hcrc) missing +x perm: /var/dcindx) Ownernship and Permissions are: The index filesystem 2726 root at mercury:/var/dcindx ## ls -ald drwx--S---

From reading the wiki for a filesystem quota, I took my shot at 1) building my binaries using the mods in AIXPluginsSupport 2) changing dovecot.conf and 3) putting the plugins in the library But I'm getting this error message when I invoke dovecot: Plugin imap_quota not found from directory /usr/local/lib/dovecot Error: imap dump-capability process returned 89 It would seem that a) I have

I have Dovecot 1.0 in trial use by the IT staff, and have some locking questions Background, the mail server runs procmail, sendmail and NFS exports the user homedir and mailbox to a) a login shell host and b) a mailing list services host. It runs UWIMAP on the usual ports and dovecot on a arbitrary port number. Because of concern with NFS and file access contention. I have the following

Is there anything that can be done so that when users IMAP to their inbox and have reached their filesystem quota, that they can still DELETE their mail? They can login, but when they go to delete/expunge this is the error I get in syslog. I have tried mail_read_mmaped to yes and no, and same result.

Thunderbird (2.0) is all of a sudden checking mail server capabilities and keep posting a popup saying: "Mail Server imap.bard.edu is not an IMAP4 mail server". To the best of my knowledge, neither Tbird nor DC have been updated, though the DC imap host was rebooted today 3 hours ago. Any info on what this is about? DC is currently serving out of a special port and in evaluation

As I explained, I want to be able to run a second instance of DC through another port to do testing while not interrupting the users using the primary instance in the the regular port. I was instructed to create a second config file with different listen ports and a separate base_dir. I did so and invoked dc with -c pointing to dovecot2.conf.

When I use the preallocate patch and create a 77GB file using the function I get a CPU spike on the server-side. The spike lasts about 20 minutes and uses about 20%-25% of the cpu associated with the rsync instance creating the file. The spike is directly linked to the time it takes to create the file. I compiled rsync using cygwin CVS. I initially suspected the implementation of

<permit me my perhaps foolish preference...an explanation> I run mail service for a small college. I've long joked that if someone stole the mail server, the phone would ring before the alarm (which has a 1 minute delay) did, that the user base expected 25x8x367 coverage. Making updates/upgrades to the mail server feels like a tightrope walk with no net. I always appreciated

Its been a while since I tried dovecot on my mail server where I have quota issues. I am using mbox file format. There still seems to be a quota problem. I have only /var with quotas and basedir is under /usr (not quotaed). default_mail_env = mbox:~/mail/:INBOX=/var/mail/%u. I tried with mbox_locks = dotlock fcntl (1st set of logs below) and with mbox_locks = fcntl (2nd set of logs) dotlock:

I guess the alert function is not part of the spec, because it appears to be unimplemented in Dovecot, even though most clients implement it. Timo, I would hope this would be easy to implement, and it's functionality that will be valuable to every installation. Here's why. America recently had the tragedy of a shooting rampage on a large university campus (yes, America should do

Daniel, Tobias, Renato and myself have been looking a little bit at the potential underlying reason for why http://llvm.org/perf/ is instable, and have found some clues.

Wayne.my vote is for a command-line option. I've noticed there is some penalty for very large files (35GB-50GB). The penalty is relatively small based on my 'intuitive' measurements.read me watching without running a real timer. The difference is very small compared to what happens after a few weeks without the fragmentation patch. Our SAN was becoming so fragmented that we were
