I'm playing with running dovecot over NFS and I am running into some issues. I have followed the guide at http://wiki2.dovecot.org/NFS and my setup includes 1 nfs server and 1 client running postfix/dovecot.
Which NFS server? Which NFS client (Linux)?
In testing I am running postal via the command:
postal -t 10 -c 10 localhost users399
The test file has a list of 399 users to deliver to. I've provided a sample of the errors I'm receiving and my configuration below, I am running dovecot 2.0.19. Any idea what I might be doing wrong and what I might do to resolve it? My ultimate goal is to setup multiple clients with director so each user is still handled on a single machine, however with a single machine I still seem to be having issues. ..

Yeah, something's broken. I'd try:
Try Dovecot v2.1.7. I don't think v2.0.19 had these problems anymore but wouldn't hurt to try.
Try if you can reproduce the same problem with local filesystem.
Try another NFS server or client..
