Maybe I have multiple problems - dunno.

Increase /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_instances max_user_instances is currently 128. I've tried stopping and restarting dovecot - the message immediately returns.

Hello, Timo, last year when you remoted into our server and performed the migration from courier-imap, we ran into this issue, and you solved it by doing: echo 1024 > /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_instances Then you said you were going to solve this permanently by changing the init script... Here is what you said (this is from the skype chat): [2012-06-04 10:40:43 AM] timosirainen:

(dovecot v1.2.16) I've notice the log notices about increasing /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_instances on my servers, and started wondering if inotify works for network/cluster filesystems..
