[Dovecot] doveot reporting "No space left on device" - yet df show plenty of space / inodes.

[Tom Brownlie]

Hi Timo,
 
Thanks - but no luck....
 
#1
I changed dovecot.conf as suggested, stopped it and then restarted it.
Tried this users account - and it failed again.
There is no ENOSPC in the /tmp/dovecot.log file!! This file is growing rapidly, but no ENOSPC...
 
#2 
Yes I can create hard links.
I created a file in /data/mail/rebecca called toms.test
I then ln toms.test toms.test.2
It worked fine.
 
#3
I haven't rebooted the server yet, because there are 200 users on it, and it is located remotely from me....
