- Ralf Hildebrandt via dovecot dovecot@dovecot.org:
We're using dovecot (via LMTP) as a backup for all incoming mail.
I upgraded from 2.3.6 to 2.3.7 on the 12th: 2019-07-12 14:35:44 upgrade dovecot-imapd:amd64 2:2.3.6-2~bionic 2:2.3.7-8~bionic
and it seems that 2.3.7 is slower than 2.3.6 -- mail to the backup IMAP box is suddenly taking quite some time to get delivered and is piling up in the queue.
And alas, I had a look at the monitoring and found that disk IO has increase A LOT after the update: https://www.arschkrebs.de/images/dovecot-disk-io-increase.png
I zoomed in and found that the sudden increace in IO coincides with the update to 2.3.7 (14:35): https://www.arschkrebs.de/images/dovecot-io-2.png
