Hate to top-post... but... ah well.
I'm trying the latest CVS snapshot with GFS and am only seeing a couple of (hopefully) harmless errors...
fcntl() failed with file /var/mailstore/72/af/375887/Maildir/dovecot.index: No such file or directory
fcntl() failed with file /var/mailstore/72/af/375887/Maildir/dovecot.index.cache: No such file or directory
Does it do this all the time or only sometimes? From those error messages it looks like fcntl() locks don't work with GFS, or maybe GFS sometimes breaks with them. I wouldn't say they're harmless until I knew why exactly it's giving those errors.
With concurrent operations on the same GFS filesystem across multiple machines, it happens all day long.
I've yet to see any evidence of corruption, so I'm not particularly concerned.
I'm not sure what changed between beta7 release and the last snapshot, but it's SO much happier... at least on GFS.
