Hi,
I am having problems with file locks with my NFS mounted Maildir setup.
NFS Client/IMAP Server is RHEL3 clone whitebox and NFS server is a
Fedora Core 2 system. Both are running lockd as far as I can tell.
dovecot is installed with Dag's latest dovecot RPMs for RHEL3. Time is
synced between the two systems.
Here is the pertinent log file entry
dovecot: Dovecot starting up Apr 7 11:17:42 sentry imap(tmartin): /home/tmartin/Maildir/.subscriptions failed with subscription file file_wait_lock(): No locks available
Now what I can find in nfs.txt is that I need to use fnctl is this
".customflags and .subscriptions files require fcntl() locking currently. Many NFS servers don't support it, at least without a separate lockd daemon. These will be fixed later to be NFS-safe by default."
My question is am I using fcntl? The only reference I can find in the config refers to mbox formats, but I am using maildir. Setting the one reference to fcntl does not seem to have any effect. Is there a configuration setting to tell the server to use fcntl locks or a way to tell if it is trying to use fcntl locks?
Thanks for any tips,
Terrence
