I'd like to hear the thoughts of list members on which type of storage method seems "best" for inboxes and for folders. The filesystem is GFS2 and for various reasons I can't change it. Inboxes - currently Mbox format. Some users have upwards of 5000 messages in there (the largest is about 18k entries) and thanks to attachments some inboxes are 40-200Mb with a few sitting at

What syntax is needed to make this work? The 2.0 wiki recomendations don't work - I can see the inboxes or the folders but not both at once and there are lots of error messages about prefix clashes if I simply use the existing 2.0.20 conf file on 2.1.6 The layout I have is: Inboxes in mbox format - /var/spool/mail/%u Folders in maildir format - /var/spool/imap/%u/Maildir/ Control and

Hello everyone, I'm using the very good imaptest [0] tool to test my little imap server implementation. I've tried to use the dovecot-crlf [1] file, but it looks like there are some major issues : $ grep -n "In-Reply-To.*;" tests/data/dovecot-crlf 479:In-Reply-To: <20020806175441.GA7148 at linux.taugt.net>; from rueckert at informatik.uni-rostock.de on Tue, Aug 06, 2002

Hi, on a clustered Dovecot server installation that was recently moved from a shared GPFS filesystem to GFS2, occasional corruptions in the users' INBOXes started appearing, where a new incoming message would be appended directly after a block of NUL bytes, and be scanned by dovecot as being glued to the preceding message. I traced this to the file extension operation performed in

Hi all, I'm new here and would very much appreciate any help you can give me. We are running a rather outdated mail server that until recently has been running beautifully. Under the pretense of "it is ain't broke, don't fix it" it hasn't been updated so is running Fedora Core 4 and dovecot v0.99.14. What is happening is that as users log in (via thunderbird), they

I'm trying to use this to test an IMAP server I'm developing (I picked the nightly up from the link on the wiki page at http://www.imapwiki.org/ImapTest/Installation). With one client using the mailbox dovecot-crlf (http://www.dovecot.org/tmp/dovecot-crlf) I get messages like: Error: test at npsl.co.uk[67]: 1035253882.5041.34.camel at hurina: Header From changed 'Timo Sirainen

This is something Timo hacked up for me a few years ago and I realised should be on the list in case anyone else wants them. The following patches will limit maildir folders to 4000 messages on Dovecot 2.0.* and 2.1.* The Specfile patch is against the Cityfan Redhat EL5 SRPM but is likely to work on most build platforms Changing the message limit requires a recompile. It's brutal and

Hi, If I have warnings converted to errors, and if I plot a simple plot and then resize and move the plot's window many times, I eventually get an error "Display list redraw incomplete", and after a while an endlessly repeating error "An unusual circumstance has arisen in the nesting of readline input". I cannot stop it using Ctrl-C (Ctrl-Z works though). I'm

I think I'm just going to move to 1.1 - however, I'm not keen on installing all the dev tools necessary on a production box. Does anyone have any pointers to web pages or keywords I can check to see what kind of safeguards are needed. The problem I have is building the the srpm to include the quota-rewrite with the trash plugin. I think it has been removed and I wanted to check if anyone

Hello list, we continue our tests using Dovecot on a RHEL 6.1 Cluster Backend with GFS2, also we are using dovecot as a Director for user node persistence, everything was ok until we started stress testing the solution with imaptest, we had many deadlocks, cluster filesystems corruptions and hangs, specially in index filesystem, we have configured the backend as if they were on a NFS like setup

Hi, I'm trying to put in place a KVM cluster (using clvm and gfs2), but I'm running into some issues with either sanlock or virtlockd. All virtual machines are handled via the cluster (in /etc/cluser/cluster.conf) but I want some kind of locking to be in place as extra security measurement. Sanlock ======= At first I tried sanlock, but it seems if one node goes down unexpectedly,

Hi. The short story... Rush job, never done clustered file systems before, vlan didn't support multicast. Thus I ended up with drbd working ok between the two servers but cman / gfs2 not working, resulting in what was meant to be a drbd primary/primary cluster being a primary/secondary cluster until the vlan could be fixed with gfs only mounted on the one server. I got the single server

I have tried sending this before, but it did not appear to get through. Hello, When using gfs2 with quotas on a SAN that is providing storage to two clustered systems running CentOS6.5, one of the systems can crash. This crash appears to be caused when a user tries to add something to a SAN disk when they have exceeded their quota on that disk. Sometimes a stack trace is produced in

Hi all, Where i want to arrive: 1) having two storage server replicating partition with DRBD 2) exporting via GNBD from the primary server the drbd with GFS2 3) inporting the GNBD on some nodes and mount it with GFS2 Assuming no logical error are done in the last points logic this is the situation: Server 1: LogVol09, DRDB configured as /dev/drbd0 replicated to Server 2. DRBD seems to work

Bill Venables expected howls of protest about deprecation of underscore for assign. Here's my one-and-only howl on this point: (1) I don't like <- as an assignment operator, because it creates an ambiguity with comparisons: I can write "x+1", "x-1", "x<1" but not "x<-1". However, I guess it's a bit much to expect the entire R/S
