What does "lockd" mean there? It's waiting for a lock? What does tracing the process say it's doing? http://wiki.dovecot.org/Debugging/ProcessTracing
Apparently the process is hung-- I can't even kill -9 it. The trace returns empty...
I do know that I'm running the statd and lockd services as part of my NFS client, so that may be a clue...
What OS is the NFS client? What does "lock status -h" show on the NetApp? What do you have for "mbox_write_locks" in the dovecot.conf file?
I found I got locking problems, using the imaptest tool, with a Linux client and mboxes on the NetApp (with "mbox_write_locks=fcntl"), but not with Solaris 8. Maildirs were fine with the Linux client. I think mboxes caused problems on the Linux client even with "mbox_write_locks=dotlock fcntl".
Best Wishes, Chris
