Hi, I've been wondering for a while if reiserfs is dovecot+maildir safe or not. I get this too often (and my imap session gets disconnected): Jun 9 08:42:32 sun imap(nk): Corrupted index file /home/nk/Maildir/.INBOX/.imap .index: UIDVALIDITY changed in uidlist This happens always when a new mail arrives in maildir. It's a Fedora Core 2 box running dovecot-0.99.10.4-4 (redhat) package. Could the reason for these corruptions be something else than reiserfs? I know there has been some problems with Fedora+dovecot but I haven't seen this one reported here.

Sorry I can't directly answer your specific question. But... You may want to have a look at Warren Togami's message: http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2004-June/003627.html regarding a dovecot-0.99.10.5 rpm for FC2 If you haven't already seen information about version 0.99.10.5: http://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2004-May/003495.html ___________________________________________________________________________ David Keegel <djk at cybersource.com.au> http://www.cyber.com.au/users/djk/ Cybersource P/L: Linux/Unix Systems Administration Consulting/Contracting

Does the UIDVALIDITY actually change in dovecot-uidlist file? It's the second number in first line. I can't think of why it would happen only with reiserfs. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
