We've a strange quota behavior on our dovecot servers. It seems that it's somehow doubling the real used storage (or could be something like twice the inbox size + size of other folders, hard to know for sure). It was initial setup with the maildir++ system. Now it's been configured with dict and mysql table but the result is the same.
Dovecot version : 2.1.7 (from squeeze-backports). Maildir format is used As example, let's use mailbox@domain.com. If I check in the quota table, I'll find :
- size : 697151354
- number of files : 1510
Now if I check the Maildir folder on the filesystem, I'll find :
- size : 347960000
- number of files : 824 (using find . -type f|grep -v dovecot|wc -l, not 100% accurate)
Another mail box Reported by dovecot : 503446986 1081 Filesystem : 248592000 598
Does anyone has an idea of what could be possibly wrong. We've checked & double-checked everything and nothing seems to be wrong (no dsync used).
What happens after quota resync? Does the quota change?
What happens to the "doveadm quota get" output after LMTP/LDA delivery of a mail with a fixed-size, let's say one mail with 1 MB?
How does your setup look like? Mailbox+Director Proxy or only Mailboxes?
What is your doveconf -n output of mailbox (and possibly director)?
