I have postfix setup to deliver to Maildir, in /home.
The /home volume was formatted with JFS.
In this setup, both Outlook and Thunderbird would not show any new mail unless they were completely shutdown and restarted.
I have moved /home to an ext3 formatted and all is well.
Anyone have any insight on this?
I already replied to this in IRC, but for others too:
JFS doesn't update directory's mtime when files are added, removed or renamed in it.
Really? I figured that wouldn't be difficult to fix in the kernel, so I looked
at the source (linux-2.6.11-rc2/fs/jfs/namei.c).
The parent mtime _is_ updated (dip->i_ctime = dip->i_mtime = CURRENT_TIME;) in
jfs_create(), jfs_mkdir(), jfs_rmdir(), jfs_unlink(), jfs_rename() + mtime is
changed in old_dir and new_dir for rename...
So what's the story here? Willem Riede.
