similar to: Maildir files with mtime in the future

Hi. It seems that dovecot is using the current time, not a maildir file's mtime for INTERNALDATE when a message is re-indexed: $ cd Index $ rm -rf .INBOX $ cd ../Maildir/cur $ stat * File: `1392914632.P54451Q0M08633.smtpin01,S=2215,W=2249:2,' Size: 960 Blocks: 8 IO Block: 1048576 regular file Device: 36h/54d Inode: 11132959 Links: 1 Access: (0600/-rw-------)

Hi, We use an rsync (rrsync, to be precise) based back-up solution. Every so often an iSCSI based file-system gets brought up and left connected for the night. After a mount event rsync will back that volume up, including server TB of data that haven't been modified, but the ctime is newer than the mtime. Is there a way to stop this behaviour? Cheers, Andrej

Hello again, as stated earlier there is a problem with mtime setting on directories during healing in replication setup. Today I tested 2.0.5 and found out that the handling is more or less generally buggy for directory mtimes. Simply try this: untar some kernel archive on your local disk and look at the mtime of the created top directory. now untar the same archive on an exported gluster fs and

Hi all. I prepared a mirror (that is intended to be updated by rsync) by doing the initial copy using cpio (for efficiency on 15 million files). Unfortunately, user, group, and mtime of some directories and files was copied incorrectly. Can I use rsync (GIT) to fix this?

Hello List, How would i rsync all files which are older than X-Days? I am missing some kind of -mtime option. Since this is quite common for backups i am wondering how you are doing this kind of stuff. Thanks, Mario

Hello, I'm using rsync as part of a centralised config management for several servers. I'm trying to monitor the mtime of a particular directory and confirm that the remote copies are approximately as new as the the local master. However, mtime on that directory is not being synced. Here's my rsync command: cd $confdir && rsync -avpzR --checksum -I -e "ssh"

I use offlineimap to sync my remote IMAP-server with my local IMAP-server (maildir format). But I don't understand this behavior: every new mail in the INBOX has a file-date which is one hour in the future. Is this 'normal'? Is this a problem of offlineimap? I tried this debugging (for dovecot): mail_executable = /usr/lib/dovecot/rawlog /usr/lib/dovecot/imap and this (for offlineimap):

On the wiki: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Zlib I think there should be a step 5.0. along the lines of "get and remember the original message file's mtime" And a step 5.4 like "Using the touch command or some other method, set the now compressed message's mtime back to the mtime of the original message file." To preserve the message's internal time in case

If I run this: find /path/to/files/ -type f -mtime -2 -name *.xml.gz I get the expected results, files with modify time less than two days old. But, if I run it like this, with the print0 flag: find /path/to/files/ -print0 -type f -mtime -2 -name *.xml.gz I get older files included as well. Anyone know why?

Is there anyway I can get Dovecot to update mtime on dovecot.index everytime a user successfully checks there email? Or perhaps there is a better way to do what I want here. I am working on a script that I want to check when the last time a user checked there email account. If a user has not checked it in say 6 months I want to automatically suspend the account through the MTA. If they start

Hi, everyone! This is a follow-up to "Looks like a bug to me: Dovecot ignores Maildir/new timestamp" from Fredrik Roubert on 01.12.2015: https://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2015-December/102585.html I've run into the same problem as Fredrik: When manipulating my Maildir locally with mutt, deleting a message from new/ doesn't cause a full update of the index. Therefore, IMAP

When a message is copied to a folder on dovecot with mbox storage, is the mtime of the saved mbox file set to the time of the save? Or is the mtime set to the Date: field of the source message that is saved? If there is a difference in the behaviour, do someone know the dovecot version number where the change happened? The reason I'm asking is a problem reported on the Gnus imap client in

Hi, I''m writing my requirements in rspec, however, I can not figure out a way to execute all specs according to alphabetical order, not by last modified time. According to the documentation, it seems like the default is by alphabetical order, I just can not get that to work. In the unit tests with the rspec package, seems like only mtime was tested. Can anyone tell me how to run specs

I'm really excited about the recent work on extended attributes. I've compiled 2.6.9 with xattr support, and run a few tests. It seems that if I have a file with an extended attribute ( a resource fork in this case), and I run rsync -aX , the mtime is not preserved. Example: stat xattrsrc/a 234881026 2894399 -rw------- 1 admin staff 0 1048576 "Nov 10 10:03:01 2006" "Nov

Hi, I try to rsync files only X days old. This is my setup. The backup server needs to store all servers' backup and only has space for 7 days backup. But each individual server has backup for 21 days. On the backup server, i remove files older than 7 days. When backup server pulls files, I want rsync only pull files with mtime last 7 days. Searching through the archive, someone suggested

Hello I am making backup of a Plesk Debian server to /backup using Rsync. My questioin is how can I preserve the ctime, mtime, and atime of original files? Thanks

Hi I have a file system that contains millions of small files. Since I backup it everyday with rsync using slow WAN link, I think it will be nice that if rsync can do this: An option that let rsync only check with remote rsync daemon about local files that has last modification time newer than one day ago (so is modified since yesterday backup). This can greatly reduce the WAN traffic. Is this
