[Dovecot] Maildir + NFS + multiple machines = spectacular failure
by Apps Lists 28 Apr '06

28 Apr '06

I'm running beta7 on two machines, with maildir on NFS. I have lockd running on all machines. I've found that Dovecot is highly unstable with NFS when accessing a mailbox on more than one machine at the same time. Both dovecot machines have: mmap_disable = yes lock_method = fcntl NFS is version 3, exported from a third linux machine. All machines are running 2.6.9 kernel. Any ideas what's going wrong here?

[Dovecot] imaptest, with options!
by Jens Laas 28 Apr '06

28 Apr '06

I hacked some command line options into imaptest. I dont think I broke it.. Place into dovecot-source root as usual and compile with: gcc imaptest.c -o imaptest -Wall -W -I. -Isrc/lib -DHAVE_CONFIG_H src/lib/liblib.a As per Timo's instructions. # imaptest -h imaptest [USER@IP:PORTNO] [pass=PASSWORD] [mbox=MBOX] [clients=CC] [msgs=NMSG] [use_authenticate] [PORTNO] USER = template for username. "u%04d" will generate users "u0001" to "u0100" MBOX = path to mbox from which we read mails to append. CC = number of concurrent clients. [20] NMSG = target number of messages in INBOX. [100] If use_authenticate is given AUTHENTICATE will be used instead of LOGIN. Have fun!
