dovecot - May 2015 - Couldn't create lock .dovecot-sync.lock

Hi,

In a cluster with two servers and replication via dovecot-dsync, this 
error is logged:
server1 dovecot: dsync-server(<user>): Error: Couldn't create lock 
/var/lib/imap/user/6a/<user>/.dovecot-sync.lock: No such file or directory

This is because "/var/lib/imap/user/6a/<user>/" doesn't
exist in
server1. In another cluster node, the directory exists and everything 
seems to work fine.

In my view, this indicates that the first sync is failing. In the first 
user access Dovecot creates home_dir for him. But the sync is not 
happening at this time to create the home_dir on the other node.

My confs with doveconf -n: 
http://www.adminlinux.com.br/newcluster_doveconf.txt

Thanks in advance!

My users are like this "username=domain_name". Could the '='
character
be the reason?

Despite my settings always worked:
# doveconf auth_username_chars
auth_username_chars = 
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ01234567890.-_@

All opinions are welcome. Thanks!

Hi,

The point here is:
doveadm replicate does not create mail location in both backends.

I have:
# cd /var/run/dovecot/
# ls -l replicat*
srw-rw-rw- 1 dovemail dovemail 0 May 14 19:44 replication-notify
prw-rw-rw- 1 dovemail dovemail 0 May 22 14:28 replication-notify-fifo
srw------- 1 dovecot  root     0 May 14 19:44 replicator
srw-rw-rw- 1 dovemail dovemail 0 May 14 19:44 replicator-doveadm

# ls -ld /var/lib/imap/user/
drwxr-xr-x 251 dovemail mail 4096 May 20 22:01 /var/lib/imap/user/
# ls -ld /var/lib/imap/user/6a
drwx------ 14 dovemail dovemail 4096 May 22 00:02 /var/lib/imap/user/6a

These permissions are sufficient. Right?
if I run manually: doveadm sync -u <user>
tcp:<ip-other-node>:<port>
the directory /var/lib/imap/user/6a/<user> is created correctly
