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

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

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

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?

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

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

Perhaps this is a lame question, but... is there a way to pass an SSH port # to rsync? At least one way I can do it is to use a small shell wrapper around ssh and pass the port # thru the environment. Just wondering if there is an easier way that I magically can't find. The reason for this is primarily because I find myself having to copy files between some local host and some remote host

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

I am working on my permissions and something does not quite make sense to me. Here is what I have set. /DIR (Unix permissions are 3777) Then in samba I have the following [dir] path = /DIR read only = no valid users @teach @student create mask 3660 directory mask 3770 Then from a windows workstation, I create a new directory inside 'dir', and call it 'teach'. The

We're having an odd problem with connecting to Samba shares over a VPN with a Mac client. We have several Mac clients connecting to a Samba 3.0.10-1.fc2 installation. Prior to upgrading them to Tiger, everything worked fine both local and over an IPSec VPN. After upgrading to Tiger, they still work fine when on our LAN. But if they try to connect to a share over the VPN, Finder hangs.

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

Hello List, I have been trying to connect from an XP Pro box to the samba (2.2.2 from RPM on RH7.2) machine. I am trying a simple (!) configuration with just a WORKGROUP setup. XP sees the the box running samba (in the My Network Places) but cannot see anything below that. I get "\\BLACK is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource ..." Checking the

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

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

I configured dovecot on a Fedora Core 2 system - the version that comes with FC2. I was using it with a RHEL 3 NFS server. Dovecot would again and again get stuck trying to grab an fcntl lock, even though I specified that it should only use dotlocks in dovecot.conf. Sometimes it would segfault (leaving things locked?). Often there would be two dovecot imapd processes for the same user.

Is there any way of increasing rsync's block transfer size for when you need to transfer data from one filesystem to another on the same disk? Using a large blocksize tends to decrease track to track seeks. 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). Thanks. -- Dan Stromberg DCS/NACS/UCI

Hi, Also I do have some problems mounting an ext3fs which gets just mounted as an ext2fs. (Yeap, I looked a little bit around in the mailling list and found similiar problems which haven't help me ;-( ) I have a root ( /) and a /mnt partition. both are converted via tune2fs -j into a journaled fs. my fstab looks like this: /dev/hda1 / ext2 defaults
