Hello - I know I am not the only one that will be trying, or has tried this before.  Here are my questions!

NFS Clients, multiple servers running dovecot - linux with 2.6 kernel with relevant patches (utime, etc)
Backend - netapp filer
End users - various clients all running IMAP

It looks like 1.0.beta8 is definately the way to go.  I have a few questions with regards to setup.

Is it now possible to reliably store index files over nfs?

If not, the alternative is keeping index files in memory, or on local disk - on each server.  How big of a performance hit is this if imap connections are round-robined between imap servers?

I've seen various people using different actimeo settings, some set at 0, some slightly higher - as much as 30.  Can anyone speak on experience they have had with netapps on this subject?

The following sound like they are required:

mmap_disable=yes
lock_method=dotlock

Has anyone been successful with fnctl() on netapps with dovecot?

Thanks in advance!
