Hi Claudio,
I made a test with NFS mount with nfsvers=4.1 and CentOS 7 as NFS client (our Netapp already have NFS 4.1 enabled) but the problem is still present.
More, I don't like to switch to NFS 4 because is statefull, NFS v3 is stateless and for example during maintanace or upgrade of NFS server clients haven't problems, the reboot of Netapp is trasparent.
I don't think the problem is related to Netapp, I see the same error in a setup of a customer based on Google Cloud (Ubuntu as Dovecot and NFS client and Google Cloud NFS volume as storage).
In my case I'm using LDA for local delivery of emails so I hope that swithcing to LMTP I will resolve the issue but I'm not use since others users said that they are aready using LMTP.
I don't know why on old Linux distro works and recents distro have the issue ...

It's a long shot......but I would try to use nfsvers=4.1 in the nfs mount option (instead of nfsvers=3) - if your netapp supports it - with a newer kernel - 4.14-stable or 4.19-stable (if possible). The reason for that, is a nasty bug found in linux nfs client with older kernels...

Hope this helps...

Hi I have been trying resolve my problem with dovecot for a few days and I dont have idea.... My environment is: dovecot director+5 dovecot guest dovecot-2.2.36.4 from source Linux 3.16.0-11-amd64 storage via nfs (NetApp) all works fine but when I update OS from debian 8 (kernel 3.16.x) to debian 9 (kernel 4.9.x ) sometimes I get random in logs: Broken dovecot-uidlist examle: Error: Broken file /vmail2/po/pollygraf.xxx_pg_pollygraf/Maildir/dovecot-uidlist line 88: Invalid data: (for random users - sometimes 10 error in day per node, some times more) File looks ok But if I change kernel to 3.16.x problem with "Broken file dovecot-uidlist" - not exists if turn to 4.9 or 5.x - problem exists I have storage via nfs with opions: rw,sec=sys,noexec,noatime,tcp,hard,rsize=65536,wsize=65536,intr,nordirplus,nfsvers=3,tcp,actimeo=120 I tested with "nocto" or without "nocto" - nothing changes ...... nfs options in node: mmap_disable = yes mail_fsync = always I bet the configuration is correct and I wonder why the problem occurs with other kernels 3.x.x - ok 4.x - not ok I check and user who have problem did not connect to another node in this time I dont have idea why problem exists on the kernel 4.x but not in 3.x-- Alessio Cecchi Postmaster @ http://www.qboxmail.it https://www.linkedin.com/in/alessice
