Time marches on, and I need to continue the service migration. I'd still like to use Dovecot (we're migrating away from Cyrus). I'm assuming the only other alternative without existing shared storage is to use DRBD and a cluster file system to provide the replication, and to ensure Director is enabled. Are there any things to watch for surrounding this?

Are there any more tests I can run for this?
I've tried an ssh-based replication configuration, and still experience the same symptoms. Going through a director proxy also doesn't help (as expected, that one, since I was already only connecting to one of the servers)

Presumably it's thinking the "-r /tmp/dsync-rawlog" is a mail location? I've tried changing its location in the appends, but it doesn't make a difference.
Oops, I messed up the parameter order. It was supposed to have -s state but now it had -s -r rawlog state. New patch should work better.
I ran two tests: one using 'doveadm expunge' and one deleting the message using mutt. Since the hosts mentioned so far have a copy of my full mailbox on, I re-ran the tests (with the same results) on a test server with a fresh mailbox on, so there was no extra folder synchronisation in there to fill up the rawlog.
Those log entries are too big for the mailing list (70k+), so are here:
'doveadm expunge' dsync-rawlog node A http://pastebin.com/LtUnENPv
'doveadm expunge' dsync-rawlog node B http://pastebin.com/QaWLyZq2
imap expunge dsync-rawlog node A http://pastebin.com/SuFdWn0w
imap expunge dsync-rawlog node B http://pastebin.com/Ex66s7hq
Mail logs on both contain entries like this: Aug 6 18:04:37 dcot2a dovecot: master: Dovecot v2.2.5 starting up (core dumps disabled) Aug 6 18:04:38 dcot2a dovecot: doveadm: Error: Don't give mail location with -d parameter
