I have a large mail backup folder backup@backup.invalid; I'm cleaning up daily like this:
infimum=
date -d "-4 day" +"%Y-%m-%d"doveadm expunge -u backup@backup.invalid mailbox INBOX SAVEDBEFORE $infimum doveadm purge -u backup@backup.invalidyet I see this:
# find attachments/ -type f -ctime +5 | wc -l 7522 # find attachments/ -type f | wc -l 127579
# find attachments/ -type f -mtime +5 | wc -l 14361 # find attachments/ -type f | wc -l 127793
About 5.9% of the files in attachments and below are older than 5 days. Why? Is that normal?
using dovecot 2:2.3.1-1 from the official repos.
I retried this today (2:2.3.4.1-1~bionic):
# find attachments/ -type f -ctime +5 | wc -l 193121 # find attachments/ -type f | wc -l 301885
193121 of 301885 (64%) are older (ctime) than 5 days, although I just purged everything older than 4 days?
# /home/copymail# find attachments/ -type f -mtime +5 | wc -l 201629 # /home/copymail# find attachments/ -type f | wc -l 301900
201629 of 301900 (66.7%) files are modified (mtime) more than 5 days ago, although I just purged everything older than 4 days?
