Hi, I am compiling dovecot and I found dnotify & inotify. What does dnotify or inotify do ? do i need it. Thanks

Hi, I sometimes got the following log entries with dovecot 1.1.11 : mail.err: Feb 27 10:06:54 dovecot: IMAP(hidden at email.com): write(dnotify pipe) failed: Bad file descriptor mail.err: Feb 27 10:06:54 dovecot: IMAP(hidden at email.com): close(dnotify pipe[0]) failed: Bad file descriptor mail.err: Feb 27 10:06:54 dovecot: IMAP(hidden at email.com): close(dnotify pipe[1]) failed: Bad file descriptor [...] mail.err: Feb 27 10:17:55 dov...

Hi, I recently switched from courier imap to dovecot. With courier I had a working IDLE setup that informed me immediately when new mail arrived. With Dovecot it is different, sometimes i get an immediate result but most of the time it takes a rather long time for the notification to return to the client. For testing purposes I set mailbox_idle_check_interval = 1 and i now get the same

I've been researching the state of 'file alteration monitoring' technology on Linux. Famd uses dnotify to inefficently monitor a handful of directories. The replacement for dnotify is being worked on in the kenel and it's called inotify. If I understand it correctly and they get it finished, it would be an awesome addition to rsync. With it, you could run rsync to update a remote system (pus...

Hi, attached patch against test76 adds inotify support and the --with-notify=... configure option that defaults to the current check for dnotify using no special method if dnotify cannot be compiled, and can be set to none, dnotify and inotify. If it is set to dnotify or inotify, failure to compile a test program results in an error. Also, it adds | file change notification method ..... : <method> to the output at the end of configur...

Hi List! Attached is a patch to configure.in to test that epoll, poll, inotify, kqueue and dnotify actually work. It also attempts to select the best one for you if none specified. This supercedes my previous patch in the re beta9 thread. Hopefully get this in Gentoo's beta9 ebuild soon.

I'm not sure if this question makes sense, but here goes. We have the need to periodically check for newly created/modified files in a rather elaborate and well populated directory structure. I don't believe that simply walking the directory and checking stat's is the answer, given that I need a process that will impose minimal performance degredation on the system. Would it be

...still sees the files. If they F5/refresh explorer, the files indeed have disappeared. If I have two explorer windows open from two different Windows hosts on the same Samba dir, and create a file on one, it shows up within 1-2 seconds on the other - which is good. Obviously this is an inotify/dnotify issue, so I guess my question is, how can I change the Unix script so that Samba is able to "tell" the connected client that a file change has occurred, so that it refreshes the content? This is under CentOS-4.6 with Samba-3.0.28a/3.0.29, and "kernel change notify = Yes" T...

Hello, I use Thunderbird as IMAP client and do a lot of server-side filtering with Sieve scripts. To be notified of new mails, I want to check all folders (a lot of them...) at once for new mails, and not only the inbox. According to http://kb.mozillazine.org/Checking_for_new_messages_in_other_folders_-_Thunderbird it should be sufficient to enable one setting -- given that the IMAP server

Hello. About year ago I tested OE and dovecot imap and met this problem (http://wiki.dovecot.org/Clients#head-129bcbfc238b5c34362b8216db87c05e7a34af85) - Using "Headers only" synchronization is buggy and can cause "Message is no longer available on this server" error when opening a mail. I configured OE to sync All messages, and it worked, but then it's acts like pop3 and
