Hello, since updating two of our backup mailservers from dovecot 1.1.16 to 1.2.4 i get the following errors from dovecot-deliver when receiving (smtp) mail.
Oct 16 00:10:42 mail3 dovecot: deliver(user): write_full(/home/r/user/.temp.backupmail.22774.d17050a07b2108e8) failed: Stale NFS file handle Oct 16 00:10:42 mail3 dovecot: deliver(user): copy: i_stream_read() failed: Stale NFS file handle Oct 16 00:10:43 mail3 dovecot: deliver(user): msgid=d0acb2021be1922ae2d35fbd6b09994c.squirrel@www.physik.tu-berlin.de: save failed to INBOX: Internal error occurred. Refer to server log for more information. [2009-10-16 00:10:42]
It nearly never happens with text/plain mails but _very_ often when mails have attachments of some different type. This is inside a 7.2-RELEASE-p2 FreeBSD jail. The NFS export is mounted from the machine that is running the jail. Locking with lockf works.
Following is the output of dovecot -n from the mailserver.
Please tell me if you need any further information.
Thanks in Advance, Leon
