Hi,
I've run into a bit of a problem and exhausted my knowledge and research. I'm hoping that I've overlooked something very obvious! I moved from a single Apple OS X 10.6.2 server Dovecot environment to a NFS clustered environment, currently with two servers. Both servers are identical hardware, software. Currently both the Dovecot index and data files are on the NFS RAID array. Both servers are configured to work with NFS per the Dovecot guides. The index and data files are accessed via a target link to the NFS mount via /var/spool/imap/dovecot. Email can be sent and received via either server and there are no errors being reported (both platforms are in debug mode). In essence everything appears to be working fine.
The issue is that after the index is initially built (all email timestamps are correct) however any new incoming email is timestamped: 8 July 2037 23:53
I checked the index files: drwx------ 5 XXXX mail 4096 Nov 12 20:41 .UND -rw------- 1 XXXX staff 1472 Nov 13 12:30 .nfs.2005105c.0583 -rw------- 2 XXXX mail 56668 Nov 13 15:44 .nfs.200514ff.0583 -rw------- 2 XXXX mail 1364 Nov 13 15:44 .nfs.20051500.0583 drwx------ 2 XXXX mail 12288 Nov 13 15:44 cur -rw------- 1 XXXX mail 118 Nov 13 10:04 dovecot-keywords -rw------- 1 XXXX staff 5359 Nov 13 15:44 dovecot-uidlist -rw------- 1 XXXX staff 8 Nov 12 21:12 dovecot-uidvalidity -rw------- 1 XXXX mail 0 Jul 8 2037 dovecot-uidvalidity.4afc7a3a -rw------- 1 XXXX staff 1472 Nov 13 15:44 dovecot.index -rw------- 2 XXXX mail 56668 Nov 13 15:44 dovecot.index.cache -rw------- 2 XXXX mail 1364 Nov 13 15:44 dovecot.index.log -rw------- 1 XXXX mail 3859 Nov 13 15:47 maildirsize drwx------ 2 XXXX mail 4096 Nov 13 15:44 new -rw------- 1 XXXX mail 902 Nov 1 14:07 subscriptions drwx------ 2 XXXX mail 4096 Nov 13 15:44 tmp
When checking the "stand alone" old data - the files are all correctly dated.
This issue is the same for all users.
Any ideas?
Many thanks,
Darren
