I have a little problem with Dovecot 2.1.17 and MailDir accounts.

I was using a shared file system (MooseFS), and all was pretty stable.

Now I'm switching to CephFS, and Dovecot LMTP have problem to deliver mails.

Very often, on large accounts, LMTP processes are running for a few hours before delivering the message.

When I strace it, I can see that they are reading (open and stat operations) ALL the messages of the account.

You didn't provide doveconf -n output, but I'm guessing the problem is Maildir++ quota. Switch to dict-file quota and the problems should go away. http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Quota/Dict
