Yes, we've got a pool of servers with Maildir on NFS with quotas enabled. Occasionally the users will run out of space and the indexes will get corrupted or out of sync. Our Helpdesk staff will increase their quota or help them delete things, and Dovecot logs a stream of " Expunged message reappeared" and "Duplicate file entry" messages as it straightens things out. This is a fairly common occurrence given the size of our user base, so I'm assuming this is the root cause... but this is the first time I've seen Dovecot crash as a result.
Well, none of that should be happening..
Oh, actually, that's about dovecot-uidlist files. They don't like much if writing fails. Although I'm still not sure if those types of errors should be happening..
