SIS deduplication fails to create intermediate directories and funny permissions
by Jesus Cea 01 Apr '16

01 Apr '16

I have configured my system to use SIS, sharing the same same storage for all users, and offline deduplication. I have this in my "root" cron: """ 53 1 * * * /usr/local/bin/doveadm purge -A 16 * * * * /usr/local/bin/doveadm sis deduplicate /home/dovecot/buzones/attachments /home/dovecot/buzones/attachments/queue """ Yes, it is launched as "root" but I would expect doveadm drop privileges as soon as possible. This is working great, but from time to time I get this error message: """ Your "cron" job on babylon5 /usr/local/bin/doveadm sis deduplicate /home/dovecot/buzones/attachments /home/dovecot/buzones/attachments/queue produced the following output: Error: mkdir(/home/dovecot/buzones/attachments/dc/62/hashes) failed: No such file or directory """ Looks like doveadm is trying to create the "hashes" directory but the parent "62" doesn't exits yet. If I create that directory by hand and set permissions correctly, everything (seems to) work. Talking about this, I see something strange wit the permissions. All files and directories in SIS are created with "dovemail" user and group EXCEPT the "hashes" directory inside the newly created directory. That is: When I get the error message, I have this: """ drwx------ 7 dovemail dovemail 7 Apr 1 13:28 . drwx------ 237 dovemail dovemail 237 Mar 24 20:09 .. drwx------ 3 dovemail dovemail 3 Feb 29 02:30 1d drwx------ 3 dovemail dovemail 3 Mar 9 01:53 7f drwx------ 3 dovemail dovemail 3 Feb 29 02:30 88 drwx------ 3 dovemail dovemail 3 Feb 29 02:30 8d """ I create the missing directory by hand and change permissions. Now I have: """ drwx------ 7 dovemail dovemail 7 Apr 1 13:28 . drwx------ 237 dovemail dovemail 237 Mar 24 20:09 .. drwx------ 3 dovemail dovemail 3 Feb 29 02:30 1d drwx------ 3 dovemail dovemail 3 Apr 1 13:30 62 drwx------ 3 dovemail dovemail 3 Mar 9 01:53 7f drwx------ 3 dovemail dovemail 3 Feb 29 02:30 88 drwx------ 3 dovemail dovemail 3 Feb 29 02:30 8d """ I run the deduplicator again (as root) and it creates a "hashes" directory inside the "62" directory... with user/group root/root. """ drwx------ 2 root root 2 Apr 1 13:30 hashes """ -- Jesús Cea Avión _/_/ _/_/_/ _/_/_/ jcea(a)jcea.es - http://www.jcea.es/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ Twitter: @jcea _/_/ _/_/ _/_/_/_/_/ jabber / xmpp:jcea@jabber.org _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ "Things are not so easy" _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ "My name is Dump, Core Dump" _/_/_/ _/_/_/ _/_/ _/_/ "El amor es poner tu felicidad en la felicidad de otro" - Leibniz

default namespace
by Nerijus Baliunas 01 Apr '16

Hello, With no namespace settings and dovecot 2.0.9 I get the following listing: a LIST "" "*" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "Trash" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "Sent" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX" a OK List completed. Then I add the namespaces: namespace inbox { separator = . prefix = inbox = yes hidden = no list = yes subscriptions = yes } namespace compat { separator = . prefix = INBOX. inbox = no hidden = yes list = no alias_for = } Then list output changes: a LIST "" "*" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "Trash" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "Sent" * LIST (\HasChildren) "." "INBOX" a OK List completed. INBOX now has \HasChildren, while before it had \HasNoChildren. How can I make it \HasNoChildren? Regards, Nerijus
