I've finally managed to run Dovecot without errors in two computers with maildir and indexes stored in NFS. I added a page to wiki about this:
Suggestions how to keep attribute cache enabled but to allow Dovecot to specifically request not to use a cached value (when it's important) would be welcome.
Timo, you use Debian - if you have liblockfile-dev installed, the manpage of lockfile-create(3) has a section called "REMOTE FILE SYSTEMS AND THE KERNEL ATTRIBUTE CACHE".
Timo,
I swear I read somewhere that you had implemented something like this, but I can't find it. Is it still necessary to disable the attribute cache to put indexes in NFS?
If so, do you have any idea how much of a performance impact that is vs. clearing the attribute cache as needed? Any idea what it would cost to have you code this feature?
Thanks, Richard
