Running Dovecot 2.2.25.
I have the following line in my root crontab:
"/usr/local/bin/doveadm sis deduplicate /home/dovecot/buzones/attachments /home/dovecot/buzones/attachments/queue"
This line is execute each hour and the plan is to deduplicate attachments stored in the SIS system.
This works well most of the time, but from time to time cron complains with this error:
""" Error: mkdir(/home/dovecot/buzones/attachments/bb/f8/hashes) failed: No such file or directory """
In those situations I just create the directory by hand and set the right permissions.
Interestingly, most of the time everything works fine, dovecot creates the needed directories and everything is fine. But I get that error every few days and I must create the directory by hand.
Am I running the deduplication process correctly?. It is launched as "root" and I would expect it to "setgid()" to the right user/group (dovemail). Should I run it in the dovemail cron?. I have a faint memory of getting the very same error in that case, a missing hash directory, but I am not sure I am recalling correctly.
Any advice?. Thanks.
