Is it possible to mix maildir and mbox formats with dovecot? For example, I would like ~/mail to be in maildir format yet keep the inbox (/var/mail/%u) in mbox format. If so, how may I go about this? Or am I stuck not being able to create subdirectories in ~/mail? Cheers, Shane

It'd be pretty cool if rsync supported use of O_DIRECT on platforms that support it, with or without my odirect package: http://dcs.nac.uci.edu/~strombrg/odirect/ I say this because rsync is sometimes used to move a mountain of data, just once. So there's little point in rsync toasting one's buffer cache. I gather there's something like O_DIRECT on windows too, but it's mostly Linux and FreeBSD I'm interested in.

Hi, I like to use rsync for backup from Desktop to my nas server. - I can setup an cron job at the server, so rsync starts on the server side to backup from my desktop to the server. But what if I shutdown my Desktop? Can rsync handle interruptions in a good way or is there a better solution? Thanks in advance, Dirk

Does anyone have advice or pointers on good documentation on how to convert a system from using the Mbox format to using Maildir? I recently upgraded to Fedora Core 2 from Fedora Core 1 and discovered that UW-IMAP was gone. So I switched over to using Dovecot. So far so good. But I would like to convert my system to start using the Maildir format. How easy is this to accomplish? Can I keep

...ecot imapd processes for the same user. I've since moved dovecot onto our internal NFS server, but we have many (relatively) external imap servers where it might be nice to use dovecot, and in a number of those scenarios, NFS would be a requirement.

Hi, there is an issue left in 0.99.10.5 which (I think) is a problem with imap status flags. It shows up in two places: (1) When new mail is delivered to the inbox, the last read mail changes to "unread". (2) When you move mails from the inbox to another folder with Mozilla (1.6 on win32, Linux, NetBSD), they are not removed from the inbox, effectively performing a copy instead of a

I've tried to write the new mbox code in a way that it could be moved into generic flat-file library with mbox-specific code being implemented on top of that. The code would be useful for all formats that require modifying message headers to store the metadata. How many such are there? I suppose all such formats could be implemented by separating mails into 3 logical parts: - header

Is this possibly a problem with dovecot 0.99.10.9? Maybe it's been fixed in a later release? Might it be a security issue?

I'd like to use rsync on a production box that has a great deal of memory-cached filesystem in use at all times. Is there any way, or any other tool, that will do a "slow" copy? purposefully not busting the cache by copying things as fast as possible? "nice" does not work, of course, as that is a cpu scheduling control. What I want is basically lowest-priority or

If I put a large dd or something in between two tar's in such a situation, I see over double the throughput on an AIX system (1M vs 64K).

...ng, reporting NFS write errors. Does this mean rsync is somehow glitching (not on the NFS write errors, but on the recopying of what should be immutable files)? Or could it mean that our source or destination filesystem(s) have data integrity problems? Thanks! -- Dan Stromberg DCS/NACS/UCI <strombrg@dcs.nac.uci.edu>

What's the easiest way, with rsync, to back up all local filesystems to another host, ignoring anything on an NFS volume. For example, is there a way of giving a list of mount points but still have --one-file-system work? Thanks!

Hello, I have a system that currently uses rsync (via rsnapshot) with --link-dest enabled to backup our mail store... If I change the permissions on the source maildirs, will this cause everything to be transferred again? Meaning, will rsync see everything as 'modified', thus creating a new copy of the entire mail store on the backup target? Or will the newest backup directory just

If reducing the MTU is helping, you might look into turning on Path MTU Discovery. NFS can be fast for large transfers if you tune it. http://stromberg.dnsalias.org/~strombrg/nfs-test.html NFS is not terribly secure though - at least v2 and v3 weren't. Not sure about v4.

You could try using an automounter, like autofs, in combination with sshfs. It'll be slower, possibly a lot slower, but it should be more reliable over an unreliable connection. I've been using: remote -fstype=fuse,allow_other,nodev,noatime,reconnect,ServerAliveInterval=15,ServerAliveCountMax=40,uid=0,gid=0,ro,nodev,noatime :sshfs\#root at remote.host.com\:/ BTW, I'm not sure

Howdy all, I'm using rsync in conjunction with backuppc and have been backing up this share without incident for almost 3 years and it has decided to go and hang on me. Other shares on the same machine sync fine with identical settings, and nothing has changed on the backup end other than some routine dist-upgrades to keep update on security patches. I checked the apt cache and no rsync

Included below is a shar archive containing two patches that together: 1) make backup files get their setuid and setgid bits stripped by default 2) add a "-s" option that allows backup files to continue to have these privileges This means that if you update a collection of binaries with rsync, and one or more of them has a local-root security problem, the backup file(s) created when
