...ome dirs -- and the home dirs are mounted via NFS from a server. This is for reasons of space as well as simply seeming to make sense. Now I get errors in my mail.log which read: imap-login: Sep 16 00:16:24 dovecot:Info: Login: marlier [209.6.159.188] imap(marlier): Sep 16 00:16:28 dovecot:Error: file_wait_lock() failed with index file /Network/Servers/network.uphamscornercs.net/Users/marlier/Maildir/.INBOX/.im ap.index: Invalid argument It looks to me like it's a file locking problem...any thoughts on how to get around it?

...as I can tell. dovecot is installed with Dag's latest dovecot RPMs for RHEL3. Time is synced between the two systems. Here is the pertinent log file entry dovecot: Dovecot starting up Apr 7 11:17:42 sentry imap(tmartin): /home/tmartin/Maildir/.subscriptions failed with subscription file file_wait_lock(): No locks available Now what I can find in nfs.txt is that I need to use fnctl is this ".customflags and .subscriptions files require fcntl() locking currently. Many NFS servers don't support it, at least without a separate lockd daemon. These will be fixed later to be NFS-safe b...

I'm not sure whether the problem is with the NFS mount, or with dovecot, or with permissions, or something else, but I'd like to get it fixed. I love the server, and if I can get this licked I thi...
