readdir and rename don't mix; patch included
Enclosed please find a patch to dovecot-1.1.16 that fixes a common
problem we see under load on Mac OS X and HFS+.
The symptom is that sometimes readdir() returns EINVAL. The problem
is that readdir() and rename() don't mix well, and maildir_scan_dir()
renames messages from new/ to cur/. The solution I chose is just to
retry scanning the directory, since code to rescan is already
present. An alternative solution would be to read the entire
directory first, then process the contents; that is, to do all the
readdirs before any renames...

Maildir files in cur without info
Hi,
I have tried to use the same Maildir dovecot uses with
another program and encountered the problem that Dovecot
seems to move files from new to cur in
maildir-sync.c::maildir_scan_dir without adding an info
part. On the page http://cr.yp.to/proto/maildir.html is
written that mails have to be renamed to uniq:info when
moved to the cur directory.
Could this be a bug in dovecot?
