I am playing around with dovecot and want to use local filesystem for indexing.
But whenever I open a new imap connection the following warning is shown:
Apr 30 10:14:42 beira dovecot: Mailbox indexes in /app/home/gasi are in NFS
mount. You must set mmap_disable=yes to avoid index corruptions. If you're sure
this check was wrong, set nfs_check=no.
/app/home is a NFS mounted filesystem, but I want dovecot to use
/export/dovecot/gasi for indexing (See namespaces below).
I shurely can follow the hints(nfs_check=no), but I am not shure if I did
something wrong or maybe someday will change the configuration and forget to
enable the nfs check.
dovecot version: dovecot-1.0-1.2.rc15.el5 on CentOS 5.0 (with all updates).
