[Dovecot] Dsyncing mail in director setup

Hi All,

I have a pair of dovecot director proxies and six dovecot backend mailstores using NFS v4.1 to access five filesystems on EMC VNX NFS storage. This is all working fine until I try and dsync new email mailboxes via one of the mailstores onto the NFS storage. I get major NFS lockups at random on one or more of the mailstores with none of the NFS mounts accessible on one or more of the mailstores. I am getting our storage guy to look into it to see if it is just a performance issue. I can understand there may be locking issues but I wouldn't have thought it would have this effect. I also wonderif there is a better way to run dsync so it handle writing to NFS? Maybe passing it some of the nfs related dovecot options?

Thanks

Murray
