dovecot - Dec 2010 - Plugins on a NFS

Hi timo.....

I Made a plugin that's works fine in a Normal Partition and a GlusterFS
enviroment too.
in NFS it's intermitent, some times works, some times don't.
Only the expunge part have this issue, i use stat to get the amont of hard
link in a file.
There is because of that (stat, hard link count) ?

If is, there is some workarround to do !?

Tks Timo !!!

No, hard links work fine with NFS. If you have multiple servers
accessing the same storage via NFS, then it's possible that stat()
result is cached and the hard link count may be out of date. You could
try running nfs_flush_attr_cache_unlocked() before the stat(), but that
doesn't work perfectly.
