Hi According to the docs, setting VOLATILEDIR will improve I/O performance when using NFS - but as far as I can see, only vsize lock-files are put here, and little else? Is this correct, and if so are there any plans to move dotlocks etc. to this directory? Thanks. -- Tom

I think also autoexpunge locking.> Is this correct, and if so are there any plans to move dotlocks etc. to this directory?What dotlocks? I guess mbox and Maildir have some locks that could be moved there, but a better performance optimization for those installations would be to switch to sdbox/mdbox. Other than that, I don't remember there being anything important that could be moved there.
