Hi,
My setup: Solaris 9, /var/mail is NFS mounted from another Solaris 9 box, home directories and dovecot index stuff is on local ufs filesystems. I upgraded from alpha4 to a5 about 36 hours ago. Dovecot is configured like so during the build:
VERSION=1.0.alpha5
CC=gcc CFLAGS="-g -O" CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/openssl/include LDFLAGS=-L/opt/openssl/lib
./configure --prefix=/opt/dovecot.$VERSION --with-ssl=openssl
--with-ssldir=/opt/openssl/ssl > configure.out
This afternoon dovecot basically locked up where a lot of people (including me) were getting:
imap(user): fcntl() failed with mbox file /var/mail/user: No record locks available
for syslog messages, and their mailbox operations would fail. In my case pine just closed the mailbox with an internal error.
I did a quick fix by stopping dovecot, killing all dovecot processes, killing /usr/lib/nfs/lockd on the dovecot server, and restarting lockd.
Ideas? Suggestions?
