Hi,
i am about to migrate some internal imapd mboxes to dovecot. Regular access is fine, just when i want to create a folder i get the following error message in the logs:
Mar 18 17:36:57 pulsar dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.error] IMAP(skayser): mkdir_parents(/home/skayser) failed: Operation not applicable
/home/skayser is mounted via autofs. When i set mail_location to a subdirectory within /home/skayser, folder creation works. From looking at the truss output dovecot tries to mkdir() the parent and doesn't seem to like the ENOSYS that is returned when the directoy is an autofs mountpoint.
Any chance for a fix, Timo? :)
