Replication Slave is not auto-creating domain/user folders
Hey all,
I'm experiencing a weird and annoying issue with my 2-node dovecot
replication setup.
The setup is based on virtual users in a pgsql database, which is
replicated from the master to a slave node. For the mails I rely on
the dovecot builtin replication which has been working great for me
thus far.
However I noticed something was off when looking through my journal
yesterday:
dovecot[823]: doveadm: Error: Couldn't lock
/var/vmail/foxxx0.de/qwer/.dovecot-sync.lock:
safe_mkstemp(/var/vmail/foxxx0.de/qwer/.dovecot-sync.lock) failed: No such file
or directory
In this case the domain directory /var/vmail/foxxx0.de was already
existing on the slave, but dovecot didn't bother to create the user
folder before trying to lock it.
The same happens when the entire domain folder is missing:
dovecot[823]: doveadm: Error: Couldn't lock
/var/vmail/dj-orakel.de/booking/.dovecot-sync.lock:
safe_mkstemp(/var/vmail/dj-orakel.de/booking/.dovecot-sync.lock) failed: No such
file or directory
(in this case /var/vmail/dj-orakel.de is not existing yet)
A natural first though would be "permission problem" - which I
suspected too but the filesystem permissions are identical on the
master and the slave:
master (mx1):

----
The replication service is configured in dovecot to run as user vmail,
so it should not be a permission problem because the master is
automatically creating the domain and user folders inside /var/vmail
when new mails arrive.
I highly suspect that this is some kind of regression because I can't
remember having to manually create the domain/user folders on the
slave before it would replicate mails for these, and there are quite a
number of domains/users being replicated already.
Please find the "doveconf -n" output of both servers below.
If you need additional information, please let me know.
Cheers,
Thore
