Hi all,
I have some machines running FreeBSD and dovecot deployed. User's home dir is on NFS mount and I've found that dovecot only works with dotlock file locking mechanism, fcntl and flock failed. Now it causes problem with thunderbird (thunderbird is cachine connections) waiting forever and I noticed that dovecot is trying to acquire a lock but unsuccessful since the lock file is in place. Is it possible to use file locking other than dotlock on FreeBSD NFS mounted homedir? How do I achieve this?
Thanks a lot.
Tony Tsang. We have the same setup, working with lock_method: flock
We have rpc.lockd running (rpc_lockd_enable="YES" in rc.conf) in both nfs servers and clients(dovecot server).
FreeBSD 6.2
