Quoting Eric Rostetter rostetter@mail.utexas.edu:
I just installed a limited test of RC10 last night. So far, all is great except for errors being logged for one user (out of about 150 users total).
I've just upgraded from RC10 to RC12 today, and this one user no longer has a problem. Of 303 users, only 1 user had the error, and upgrading to RC12 fixed the problem for them with no other changes.
BTW, the one user did eventually complain after a week of not being able to get their mail. Some people are a bit slow to complain I guess.
This one user has not yet complained or anything, but the log file has repeated entries of the following format for him (host and username changed to protect the guilty/innocent):
Oct 24 06:13:02 mail dovecot: IMAP(username): file mbox-sync-rewrite.c: line 405 (mbox_sync_read_and_move): assertion failed: (need_space == (uoff_t)-mails[idx].space) Oct 24 06:13:02 mail1 dovecot: child 18235 (imap) killed with signal 6
I find it most interesting that only 1 out of 150+ users is getting this error... And again, no complaints from the user.
Setup is: wu-imap mbox files in /var/spool/mail (exported via NFS, but local to the dovecot server). Mail in ~/mail/ (NFS mount, foreign to devecot server). Indexes in /var/dovecot/indexes (local to dovecot server with no NFS at all).
