Are you using dirsize quota backend? That's the only reason I can think of for this. dirsize backend really sucks with maildir.
Hi Timo,
Thanks! You hit it spot-on.
Thanks for the tip-off.
Cheers.
Hi guys - So what can we use instead? We've just had 2 days downtime because Dovecot was using 100% of the disk. As reported above - every action on a user mailbox seems to lstat every file in the user's home.
So we've disabled quota completely and these millions of lstats have stopped.
We're running virtual users (all under a vmail system user) so fs quota is not workable. What do you recommend for a Maildir?
This is bad enough to almost work having Dovecot throw a: WARNING: dirsize not recommended with Maildir format.
Best wishes, Daniel
