Hi,- Timo Sirainen tss@iki.fi (20040525 21:57):
Thought I'd still make one 0.99.10.x release now that mbox corruption problems are (hopefully) fixed.
I have yet to see from my testers if mailbox corruption still occurs.
- mbox: "LF not found" errors happened sometimes when X-IMAPbase header was updated. Possibly corrupted mbox sometimes. Thanks to Fabrice Bellet for finding this bug.
I have not seen these errors in the log file with this version (except perhaps the first time people checked their mail after the upgrade). Thank you!
I keep seeing the following message from time to time:
,---- | May 27 16:04:38 munster imap(xxxx): Our dotlock file /home/xxxx/Mail/mrtg.lock was modified (1085666677 vs 1085666678), assuming it wasn't overridden `----
Could it still be a NFS-locking problem?
Dovecot uses: mbox_locks = dotlock
Procmail (on the same server, FreeBSD 5.2) uses: Locking strategies: dotlocking, lockf()
Procmail (on another server, Tru64) uses: Locking strategies: dotlocking, fcntl(), lockf(), flock()
I suppose I must use exactly the same locking facilities, but there seems to be differences between reading and writing a mbox in Dovecot.
