similar to: nfs, dovecot, and maildirs

Hi, Are there any big Dovecot sites (say 50,000-100,000) users on this list? What sort of hardware do you use. What sort of problems do you see? Many thanks, Jonathan.

Hi everyone, I have noticed recently that Dovecot creates lock directories under users' Maildirs which look like IMAP folders. This is bad since users will see IMAP folders that are not supposed to be there. In my logs I see dovecot: imap(...): Error: file_create_locked(/.../Maildir/.vsize.lock) failed: Is a directory The directory in question # ls /.../Maildir/.vsize.lock/ cur/

As is usually the case, I'm not sure enough of what the DC docs are referring to; there are some implicit info assumptions that I, the Newbie, miss... Anyway, here is my situation Dovecot is to run on one machine only, its index files are stored in on a separate, non-quotaed, not NFS filesystem. INBOX and folder filesystems (all mbox format) are native to this machine and are NFS

Hi, Our dovecot setup consists of two hosts running dovecot-1.0.beta9 with Maildir/indices stored on NFS(noac,actimeo=0 used). I am seeing these messages at times - but no real problems on the client side. Is this something to worry about? dovecot: Oct 17 10:33:31 Error: IMAP(user): Corrupted index cache file mailstore/user/Maildir/.mail.incoming/dovecot.index.cache: invalid record size

Hi guys I'm about to embark on a project replacing a legacy single mail server running proprietary software with a cluster of Dovecot servers. We clearly need a shared mail store for these servers, but we are not happy with simply using a server running NFS as this becomes a single point of failure. What have other people used? AFAICT our options are: * A shared block device (Fibre

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

Hello, I'm using dovecot as a mail relay so that I can back up my providers IMAP mail locally. I'm impressed how easy this was to set up, but I'm having a quirk that I would like help with, if possible. There are many weak links in my set-up chain, if you will, but I think I've narrowed the problem. I'll describe my set-up anyway. I'm running dovecot 1.1.4 on ubuntu

First off, just want to say Dovecot is great! We have been using it for several months now in a fairly large installation with only a few problems. We are running 1.0.rc28 on three servers with 3 Horde/IMP boxes talking to Dovecot. The user's home dirs are located on an NFS server and the indexes are stored in their Maildirs. I have mmap_disable=yes and lock_method=dotlock in dovecot.conf.

We are seeing some poor performance recently that is focused around users with large mailboxes (100,000 message /INBOX, 80,000 message subfolders, etc). The performance problem manifests as very high system% utilization - basically iowait for NFS. There are two imap servers with plenty of horsepower/memory/etc. They are connected to a 3050c cluster via gig-e. Here are the mount options:

Greetings - I'm now in the last couple of weeks before going live with Dovecot (v1.0.3) on our revamped IMAP service. I'd like to double-check about the best mount options to use; could someone advise, please? I have three separate directory trees for the message store, the control files and the index files. These are arranged as follows: Message Store Mounted over NFS from

Folks - I've been using Dovecot for some time now, but have only recently upgraded to 1.0alpha4. I'm struggling to get my configuration right and I'm seeing some truly bizarre issues. My Setup: Solaris 2.8 / Thunderbird / Procmail / Dovecot 1.0alpha4 My mail setup is only for me, so Dovecot runs at an odd port and under my userID. All my mail is in my home directory, which

So I just spent a frustrating day trying to get smbclient from 4.2.x and master connecting to a NetApp 8.2 box using SMB2 or SMB3 with NTLM auth. Short answer - it doesn't work :-(. Longer answer - the NetApp is choking on something inside the SPNEGO NTLMSSP packets we're sending it - giving the error that it couldn't parse the SPNEGO packet. Unfortunately (and knowing bugger-all

Greetings Dovecot List, I have a bit of an edge case I am trying to resolve. I am currently using dovecot on Ubuntu 14.04 - Ubuntu package version: 1:2.2.9-1ubuntu2.3 I have attached the output of doveconf -n to this email - but to describe the configuration in a nutshell: my server is configured to use Maildir storage I do not use dovecot delivery service (there is a separate

Hello, I need an advice about POP3 and NFS with Dovecot 1.0 (as 1.1 is still tagged beta) . I currently have all messages and indexes under a NFS partition . I thus turned cache off using actimeo=0 . Of course, my current architecture does not allow me to keep the same user on the same dovecot server. Now, I have some NFS issues with high percentages of getattr() . If I understood well, the

Hi, Does anyone have any ideas about trouble shooting the following error when trying to change folder permissions on a Samba Share "[2008/01/18 15:59:42, 2] smbd/posix_acls.c:set_canon_ace_list(2480) set_canon_ace_list: sys_acl_set_file type file failed for file" We are using Version 3.0.24 on Solaris. The share is on a NetApps filer which is nfs licensed. Thanks, Paul.

Hello, i'm using version 4.07. On my computer extlinux does not work. after debugging, i found the trouble. in the function parse_mountinfo there was using a function get_string. in the function get_string there was a line (42) } else if (ch == '\\') { but in my mountinfo list, there was \ , but not with octal digit. so the function get_string will fail. here are some information

Good morning, folks. I'm involved in a project to enforce NFSv4 ACL's across a variety of storage platforms, in particular NetApps sharing NFS. That works fiine with the NetApp NFS qtrees, but we'd like to share those with CIFS clients as well. This works, and restricts access the way we expect NFSv4 ACL's to work, but the Windows clients cannot view any of the security settings

I am migrating from my "old" 2.2.7 samba server to a newer server runnig 3.0.20a and everythig is working except the [homes] share. The server (FILE-CABINET) is a member of the domain, security is set to ADS and, as far as I can tell, kerberos is working. The program wbinfo returns a list of users and groups like it should. getent passwd returns first my local passwd file and then
