Hi,
We have dsync failing once in a while when running in "backup" mode. What's strange is that the result is that the file permissions on the *source* machine ends up with the wrong permissions (set to uid 0).
Even though the dsync manual clearly says: "Backup mails from default mail location to location2 (or vice versa, if -R parameter is given). No changes are ever done to the source location. Any changes done in destination are discarded."
Running: 'dsync -R -o mail_home=/users/maildir backup ssh -c arcfour src-host "dsync -o mail_home=/users/maildir"'
I know it's running as root, but even then ... it shouldn't modify the source in "backup" mode ??
The error message from dsync when failing is:
dsync-remote(root): Error: Cached message size larger than expected (5292 > 5289) dsync-remote(root): Error: Maildir filename has wrong S value, renamed the file from /users/maildir/.Sent/cur/1381224782.M959810P3574.mail,S=5292,W=5411:2,S to /users/maildir/.Sent/cur/1381224782.M959810P3574.mail,S=5289:2,S dsync-remote(root): Error: Corrupted index cache file /users/maildir/.Sent/dovecot.index.cache: Broken physical size for mail UID 1040 dsync-remote(root): Error: dsync(dst-host): read(/users/maildir/.Sent/cur/1381224782.M959810P3574.mail,S=5292,W=5411:2,S) failed: Cached message size larger than expected (5292 > 5289)
