Hi all, I just read this one on the dovecot web: ------------------------------------------------------- FUSE / GlusterFS FUSE caches dentries and file attributes internally. If you're using multiple GlusterFS clients to access the same mailboxes, you're going to have problems. Worst of these problems can be avoided by using NFS cache flushes, which just happen to work with FUSE as well: mail_nfs_index = yes mail_nfs_storage = yes These probably don't work perfectly. -------------------------------------------------------- Can someone comment on that? Does anybody use glusterfs as a storage for mailboxes/mailfolders ? -- Regards, Stephan

We don't specifically test with it here, if you are interested in using it with Gluster I would suggest testing with 3.1.1, and always keep the index files local, that makes a big difference.

We use Gluster v3.0.6 on Gnu/linux Debian 64bits Squeeze, with dovecot 1.2.15. plugin quota, we do not put these options in dovecot configuration, all works fine. bst regards.
