Yes, but the OP was reporting trying to run *both* a 32-bit and a 64-bit server sharing the same NFS-mounted filesystem. In other words, either you (Timo) need to change the indexes to be platform independent (i.e. no 64-bit-isms) or you need to put a BIG WARNING to not share the message indexes between different width platforms. The performance hit of repeated nuking of the index files is going to be huge.
I thought that would be an obvious thing as a DON'T - I think many applications would choke on that one.
Or you can separate the indexes with a little loss of storage space. I guess it could even be directly supported by dovecot. Ex .imap32, .imap64
Probably better would be to use the machine hardware name (eg "i686") rather than bits. Obviously truly platform-independent indexes would be best.
