...cured gid=100 = group 'users'. I tried making all of the binaries root:mail with g+s, same as /usr/bin/lockfile, but this was no help. It also does not help to chmod +t /var/spool/mail. $ dovecot --version 1.0.7 kernel 2.6.18-92.1.22.el5 centos mmap_disable = yes (req'd for ~/mail dotlocks, makes no difference either way for /var/spool/mail) Any ideas? Thanks, Mark

...ce, mbox_write_locks = dotlock fcntl when does exactly dotlock method get used and when does fcntl get used ? Are both used simultaneously ? Which leads to the wiki's deadlock situation example : # Program A: fcntl locks the mbox # Program B at the same time: dotlocks the mbox # Program A continues: tries to dotlock the mbox, but since it's already dotlocked by B, it starts waiting # Program B continues: tries to fcntl lock the, but since it's already fcntl locked by A, it starts waiting why would A dotlock the mbox since he did fcntl'ed...

As of late our four node dovecot 1.2.13 cluster has been experiencing a massive number of these dotlock errors: Created dotlock file's timestamp is different than current time (1295480202 vs 1295479784): /mail/user/Maildir/dovecot-uidlist These dotlock errors correspond with very high load averages, and eventually we have to turn off all but one server to stop them from occurring. We first

Hello, is dotlock supposed to work with NFS? I noticed that the default-locking method causes problems even with nfslockd started. Regards Marten

If I read the code correctly, only dotlocks are supported for locking of dovecot-uidlist. And I don't see any settings in the config file for it. As it turns out, dotlocks are very slow on my system, due to their implementation via hardlinks. Would it be possible to support other locking mechanisms for locking of the uidlist fi...

Thanks for mySql For Squat vs Solr, Solr does not reach Squat by very far in terms of results : If I setup Solr, and search (via the search in Roundbube or Evolution) for a keyword or part of the keyword, the results are complete non sense. The diference between "search in full body" and "search in fields" does not even work. Solr with Dovecot seems very early beta

We've just cut over to a new mail server running Dovecot 1.0.5. The underlying OS is RHEL 5. User mailboxes are stored in Unix mbox format on a local ext3 file system. The MTA on the system is the default RedHat version of Sendmail 8.13.8 with procmail for local delivery. We're using a combination of dotlock and fcntl style locking. The output of "dovecot -n" for this system

I've recently upgraded to 1.0.10 in hopes that this problem would go away but no luck. I've got some users at my company with large inboxes on maildir (say 22,000 messages). Their mailboxes are hosted on nfs and dovecot is configured to do dotlocking. Still I see messages like this continually in the logs (sometimes every hour or so): server dovecot: IMAP(user): dotlock

I am using dovecot 1.0.rc15 (a similar problem occurred in rc10) on Solaris 9 (sparc). When working with a user who's home dir is on a local disk everything seems fine. But when that home is on an NFS-mounted disk things are very badly awry. Both the indices and the subscriptions file are being destroyed and what is left behind are files with names of the form .nfs72C034 etc. These files are

We don't consider it as "very early beta". We consider it production ready. It is bit more work to set up though.

I'm running Dovecot 1.1 RC1. I believe I've done all the due diligence for making things working correctly over nfs. But I run into locking issues if I run over nfs. procmail is doing the delivery over nfs. uw-imap was ruining over nfs. dovecot is fine if its on the nfs server (i.e. it has local access to the disk, no nfs) I run into lock deadlocks if I run dovecot over nfs Users

Folks - Some time ago as I migrated to dovecot 1.0, I ran into all sorts of problems with file locks, and I tried various solutions. Apparently, in the process, I got a bit careless and removed all my dovecot-uidlist files. They're gone. My understanding, however, is that they should come back, but this doesn't happen. I've been forced to run with index=MEMORY in 1.0 for

.... is Maildir locked in some way + dovecot-uidlist.lock created or just dovecot-uidlist.lock created) ? 2. Documentation says : "NFS caching is a big problem when multiple computers are accessing the same mailbox simultaneously" I guess it's because of the dotlocks files and not fcntl locking ? Is there anything else than dovecot-uidlist which is dotlocked ? If yes, is it dotlocked only or dotlocked and fcntled ? 3. Documentation says : "Dovecot v1.1 flushes NFS caches when needed if you set mail_nfs_storage=yes" How can a program...
