can dsync convert from compressed mbox to compressed mdbox format?
When I use compressed mbox files, either with gzip or with bzip2, I can read the mails as usual, but I find the following errors in dovecots log file:
imap(userxy): Error: nfs_flush_fcntl: fcntl(/home/hrz/userxy/Mail/mymbox.gz, F_RDLCK) failed: Bad file number imap(userxy): Error: nfs_flush_fcntl: fcntl(/home/hrz/userxy/Mail/mymbox.bz2, F_RDLCK) failed: Bad file number
This happens because of mail_nfs_* settings. You can either ignore those errors, or disable the settings. Those settings are useful only if you attempt to access the same mailbox from multiple servers at the same time, which is randomly going to fail even with those settings, so they aren't hugely useful.
After removing the mail_nfs_* settings this problem went away. Thank you, Timo.
