Hi,
I wonder if it's normal behaviour that indexes created in memory have long creation time.
No, but the problem has more to do with caching. If you use a client that fetches the same data often (such as message headers/sizes) then Dovecot will do the same work for each request. In that case in-memory indexes perform poorly. This is more of a problem with webmail clients and less of a problem with Outlook/Thunderbird.
And what about if I want use both solutions , memory indexing for POP3 and hd-indexing for webmail? Are there any disadventages ?
If you're using POP3 that also performs poorly without indexes with v1.0. v1.1 makes it better.
Other problem is that indexes created on nfs sometimes get crushed and I
need to delete indexes in case of fetching mails ( I see mails on hd but when telnet on host and make stat I don't see any).
So Dovecot says there are no mails while there are in fact?
Yes. But when I delete indexes and they are recreated everything works fine.
Is it possible that something goes wrong on NFS connection ?
Does version 1.1.x correct this errors ?
v1.1 makes NFS work a lot better, so it's highly recommended.
Does it stable version ? Can I use it on production without any problems ?
And what is better to use : nfs or
memory indexing ? Can someone point me adventages and disadventages of using both solutions?
Have you read http://wiki.dovecot.org/NFS ?
Yes.
Best regards,
Sebastian
