fchown() failed
Hello all,
I'm not sure if this question is better posed to a Fedora group because
I have only had this problem since I upgraded from F9 to F11, but I
figured that the specialised knowledge here might help me more...
I have been getting these entries in syslog since upgrading. Today for
instance I got:

Occasional fchown errors?
Hi:
I get the occasional error below. Is there something I don't have
configured correctly? Or should I just ignore this? It is not always
this file, sometimes it is the cache.lock file or the log.newlock file.
I have a mail client running on my computer and my phone at the same
time, could that have something to do with it?

deliver and cloning file permissions
Hi!
I'd like to use deliver (dovecot-1.2.10) as LDA to deliver mails to my
local users on my postfix-system.
However, deliver tries to copy the filesystem permissions of the
mail-spool-files to the user's index files, which doesn't work, since
the files in /var/mail/ belong to the group 'mail'.

Maildir permissions and Solr re-indexing
I am running a very small dovecot installation with only one user (me).
I use the Solr indexer for indexing. Due to complicated reasons, I was
forced to remove all the indexes and need to re-index everything.
All the files in my Maildir are owned by md5i:mail (I am md5i), and have
660 permissions. All directories have the same user:group permissions,
and 770 with the setguid bit set. (That

[PATCH 2/5] ocfs2/dlm: add lockres as parameter to dlm_new_lock()
Wether the dlm_lock needs to access lvb or not depends on dlm_lock_resource it belongs to. So a new parameter "struct dlm_lock_resource *res" is added to dlm_new_lock() so that we can know if we need to allocate lvb for the dlm_lock. And we have to make the lockres availale for calling dlm_new_lock().

dovecot-shared tries to fchown index+control files but fails
I have some public mailboxes setup in 1.0.0,
location =
maildir:/egr/mail/shared/org:CONTROL=%h/Maildir/dovecot/public/control/org:INDEX=%h/Maildir/dovecot/public/indexes/org
I also have a dovecot-shared file in the maildir folders so messages that are added
to the inbox get a decent set of default permissions. However, I think dovecot is also trying

fchown failed
Hello
I occasionally get the following error in dovecot log
I've replaced the username by xxxxxxx
/user is the user's home directories place, does this means
it must be owned by the "mail" group ?

Can I get rid of the fchown log messages?
Hi,
Since upgrading dovecot version (from somewhat ancient to 1.2.16), I see
messages in the logs like these:
Jan 15 00:55:17 srv0303 dovecot: POP3(obm03): fchown(/home/obm/obm03/mail/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.tmp, -1, 8(mail)) failed: Operation not permitted (egid=1033(obm), group based on /var/mail/obm03)
I know that this is because the mailbox in /var/mail has ownership
username:mail.

Fedora 9 -> Centos 7 upgrade Dovecot problem
Hi all,
I'm upgrading my old F9 mail server to Centos 7 and all is going well.
However, I've got a problem with recently created users.
I've rsync'd /home and /var/spool/mail after moving /etc/passwd and /etc/group
I used the default locations on the old F9 server, i.e. mail delivered
to /var/spool/mail/%u by EXIM and Dovecot using that as the inbox.
Dovecot then used ~/mail/
