Hello.
We are running dovecot 2.0.13 with mdbox+zlib on RHEL 5.7 x64, ext4. We use NTP. Indexes are in a iSCSI raid 10, mailboxes in raid5. No NFS. We have detected that sometimes all users get disconnected from roundcube at the same time. In dovecot logs we hundreds of lines like this:
Nov 3 09:23:07 buzon dovecot: imap(mcrivero@mydomain): Warning: Created dotlock file's timestamp is different than current time (1320308587 vs 1320308542): /buzones/mydomain/03/67/mcrivero/subscriptions Nov 3 09:23:07 buzon dovecot: imap(mcrivero@mydomain): Connection closed bytes=0/295 Nov 3 09:23:07 buzon dovecot: imap(delolmo@mydomain): Warning: Created dotlock file's timestamp is different than current time (1320308587 vs 1320308542): /buzones/mydomain/15/77/delolmo/subscriptions Nov 3 09:23:07 buzon dovecot: imap(delolmo@mydomain): Connection closed bytes=0/295
I have been googling but I only see problems with remote NFS, our setup does not use NFS. I give you doveconf -n output & mount options, if more info es needed, please ask.
doveconf -n output
