[Dovecot] Finally upgrading from v1.0.15 to v1.2.16 -- advice please

[Jan-Frode Myklebust]

It's long over due, but now I finally plan on upgrading from v1.0.15 to
v1.2.16 on our servers. Would appreciate any comments!

We have 7 servers, all running of the same GPFS filesystem. Both
maildirs and indexes are stored here. We use dovecot for POP/IMAP and
deliver. Currently we're using mysql as authentication source, but want
to move to using ldap instead.

Can we upgrade one server at a time, or do we need to upgrade all
servers at the same time ? http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Upgrading/1.1 says
"Index files have slightly changed as well. Upgrading to v1.1 should go
transparently, but moving back to v1.0 might again cause some errors."
which makes me think we can't have both versions running against the
same users ?

Also, if we upgrade only one server, should we switch to "mmap_disable=no"
on this one, or keep running with "mmap_disable=yes" on all servers ?

"NFS users should now set mail_nfs_storage=yes and mail_nfs_index=yes."
Does this apply to any shared/networked filesystems, and is this
relevant for GPFS ?

The sql queries we're doing now is:

	password_query = select U.Account as user,S.Password as password from Users U, UserSession S where U.Account=S.Account and U.Account='%u'
	user_query = SELECT 3000 as uid, 3000 as gid, concat(concat('maildir:', MailDir), concat(':INDEX=', replace(MailDir, '/usr/local/atmail/users', '/usr/local/atmail/users/indexes'))) as mail, concat('maildir:storage=', UserQuota) as quota FROM Users WHERE Account = '%u'

I plan on doing ldap bind() for authentication:

	hosts = maildb3.example.net:389
	auth_bind = yes
	ldap_version = 3
	base = ou=people,o=%d,o=ISP,o=example,c=net
	deref = never
	scope = onelevel
	user_filter = (&(objectClass=altiboxperson)(uid=%n))
	default_pass_scheme = SSHA

but the user_query is a challenge..  In LDAP we have:

	uid = janfrode, ou=people,o=domain1.net,o=ISP,o=example,c=net
	mail = janfrode at domain1.net
	mailMessageStore = /usr/local/atmail/users/j/a/janfrode at domain1.net
	mailQuota = 1000000
	domain = domain1.net
	userPassword = SSHA-string

So, outside of the user_attrs we need:

	mail_uid = 3000
	mail_gid = 3000

But I'm having a hard time understanding how I can use the ldap value
mail=/usr/local/atmail/users/j/a/janfrode at domain1.net to translate into 
dovecot's "mail" containing both "maildir:" and "INDEX=".

Does the below look correct ?

	user_attrs = mailMessageStore=mail=maildir:%$:INDEX=/usr/local/atmail/users/indexes/%1u/%1.1u/%u, mailQuota=quota_rule=*:storage=%$

i.e. will it point dovecot at:

	mail = maildir:/usr/local/atmail/users/j/a/janfrode at domain1.net:INDEX=/usr/local/atmail/users/indexes/j/a/janfrode at domain1.net
	quota_rule=*:storage=1000000
