similar to: corrupted indexes rebuilding over and over

Hi, On saturday one of our dovecot machines had an OOPS, and we had to powercycle it. When it came up, it did a filesystem fsck (ext4) and fixed a couple things, but nothing in lost+found. Now, about 50 users have a problem where their indexes are corrupted. Dovecot tries to fix them, but for some reason it is failing. The users are seeing their mails duplicated and they cannot delete mails. I

Hi, we had the same problem after a system failure. Our problem could be solved by rm /PATH/USER/mdbox/storage/dovecot.map.index* doveadm -D -v force-resync -u USER INBOX Best regards, Gordon On 05.06.2017 18:34, micah wrote: > > Hi, > > On saturday one of our dovecot machines had an OOPS, and we had to > powercycle it.

Hi, we are using a round robin dns record for connections to our ldap system. This works fine for almost all cases. In particular, for dovecot does this mean, when an ldap server is stopped, dovecot instantly reconnects to another ldap server. But when the network connection to the active ldap server is broken, dovecot sticks to the failed ldap server. Is there any possibility to define a

Hello, our dovecot server crashes totally without any really useful log messages. The error log can be found in the attachment. The only way to get dovecot running again is a complete system restart. Dovecot version: 2:2.0.15-0~auto+5 (2.0.15 (6b7242ead6ed)) Configuration : see attachment OS : Debian Squeeze amd64 Dovecot source : http://xi.rename-it.nl/debian/ \

I?m considering moving from maildir to mdbox, but don?t quite see how I should do the conversion with minimal downtime. Our userdb is ldap, and the we use this setting to point to the users maildirectory: user_attrs = mailMessageStore=mail=maildir:%$:INDEX=/indexes/%1u/%1.1u/%u,mailQuota=quota_rule=*:storage=%$ i.e. every user has a "mailMessageStore" attribute in LDAP that points to

Hello We are now running dovecot 2.0.9 with indexes in a ram disk and maildir storage in a test system. We have the following questions: - If there is a power outage / kernel crash, we will lose the content of ramdisk. We have tested that indexes are regenerated when a user logs in via imap, so e-mail access will be "slower" after a power outage / kernel crash, but

Hi Looking for some insight into mdbox index file management and recovery from corruptions. I have a two node cluster on NFS with proxy director in front for user stickness. One node (a nominated master) bidirectionally replicates to a 3rd node on a DR site. We periodically get index file corruptions resulting in rebuilds. However the user experience is poor as messages read/deleted from

Restoring a user's mailbox yesterday resulted in 'doveadm import' panic'ing with an assertion failure and giving a backtrace: /usr/bin/doveadm import -u <user> mdbox:/maildir/riseup.net/a/<user>/.daily.1/mdbox restored_from_backups/daily1 all doveadm(<user>): Error: Transaction log

Hello, I've got a Postfix/Dovecot server setup. Currently Dovecot is version 2.3.6, and it's using Maildir storage. The mailbox is: mail_home = /home/vmail/mailboxes/%d/%n mail_location = maildir:~/mail:LAYOUT=fs I'm wanting to convert from Maildir to sdbox. I looked at: https://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat I was initially thinking mdbox but that's multiple messages per

Hi, I originally picked mdbox because I had the impression from reading about it on the mailing list that it was more performant and that it would conserve disc space. But lately i found mailboxes have nearly double the storage as reported. I mean, IMAP QUOTA reports around 900MB for one account that has over 2GB when I inspect the mail location of the user using the linux command `du`

I've updated http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailLocation regarding a typical mail_location entry for dbox. Previously it said: mail_location = dbox:~/dbox but of course "dbox" is now the old name for "sdbox", so the example should be updated to say "sdbox" and there might/ought also to be an example for "mdbox".

Hi there, I have Samba 1.9.18p18 installed on Linux (S.u.S.E. 5.3). It is configured to act as a domain controler for the Windoze machines. One of my users, which can login from his Win95 (plain text password) without problems, wants to change his password from the Control Panel. But every time when he logs out after changing his password and re-logs in, the new password is refused by the

I was thinking about documentation for alternate storage. We have a few mentions at: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/dbox http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Tools/Doveadm http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Tools/Doveadm/Altmove But I was thinking it would be helpful if there could be a page about alternate storage. I could write the page, but I currently have so many unknowns that I think it would be
