On October 11, Mark Farmer reported a problem about not being able to see new mails. I'm running into the same issue. Even though cur/ and new/ contain messages, Dovecot reports that there aren't any.
JFS on Linux 2.6.13. I'm just using the default mount options, so no noatime, if that would be an issue.
Thought so. I've heard before too that JFS doesn't update directory's mtime when files are added/removed/renamed. Although some people say that mtime is updated with their JFS. Maybe it's somehow configurable? Anyway, that's the problem and I'd rather not add any kludgy workarounds to Dovecot for it.
Well it's certainly a JFS issue, you're right. JFS does update the mtime when files are created ( via open()/creat() ), removed, and renamed into a directory. However, it doesn't update when a new link is created in a directory, which is of course how maildir delivery works. I'll head on over to the JFS mailing list to get their input.
Thanks, Chris
