Hi,
When user exceeds it's quota then dovecot can't create it's files and it's showing zero mails :( This also means that user is unable to delete it's own mails. Sounds like kind-of bug, right?
Dec 15 08:28:37 mbox1 dovecot: IMAP(xxx): open(/var/mail/xxx/dovecot-uidlist.lock) failed: Disk quota exceeded Dec 15 08:28:37 mbox1 dovecot: IMAP(kdudus): file_dotlock_create(/var/mail/xxx/dovecot-uidlist) failed: Disk quota exceeded
I don't think the mbox file should be modified if it's not locked. I suppose it's not very ideal either if user can't delete mails then, but at least the mailbox doesn't get corrupted.
I use maildirs only.
Anyway, you most likely don't really need to use dotlocks at all. Just make sure that your MDA uses fcntl locks and set mbox_write_locks=fcntl.
Will look. Right now I'm trying to move CONTROL to other fs where quota doesn't apply to see what will happen.
Also I think Dovecot v1.1 should be able to open the mailbox read-only even if it can't create the dotlock? Are you using v1.0?
1.1.7 as in subject but read-only won't help in deleting mails that cause quota being exceeded 8)
