Re: [Dovecot] nfs flush/fsync config settings problem
Hi Alessio,
After days sorting the Heartbleed mess, I managed to set up Debian Squeeze amd64 for the test and I'm seeing the same error message:
Fatal: nfs flush requires mail_fsync=always
# doveconf -n | egrep 'fsync|nfs' mail_fsync = always mail_nfs_index = yes mail_nfs_storage = yes
Cheers,
Wesley

Hi,
I'm using Maildir on Debian 6 64bit, try to "grep" for "fsync" on all configuration files.
Try also to install the same dovecot+configuration on Debian 6.
Let me know! Ciao

Hi Alessio,
I have 2.2.12 installed in Debian Wheezy amd64 server. mail_fsync is specified and detected. Are you using mbox or maildir or dbox? We're using mbox and seeing the error.
# dovecot --version 2.2.12
# dovecot -n | grep -E 'sync|nfs' mail_fsync = always mail_nfs_index = yes mail_nfs_storage = yes

Hi,
I need to place a maildir storage on a NFS filesystem, so I set up the config like this:
mmap_disable = yes mail_nfs_storage = yes mail_nfs_index = yes mail_fsync = always lock_method = dotlock (also tried fcntl - local lockd is running, no success, now using dotlock, to be sure while debugging)
The problem is that Dovecot (2.2.9/2.2.10 - the relevant code in mail-index.c is the same) logs a fatal error and quits the session (no daemon crash/coredump).
Hi,
I have a similar configuration but with dovecot 2.2.12 and NFS for me works fine. Have you insert the "mail_fsync = always" in the right place? Is there only one "mail_fsync" setting in your config? First check this:
root@mx:/etc/dovecot# grep mail_fsync /etc/dovecot/ -R conf.d/10-mail.conf:mail_fsync = always
root@mx:/etc/dovecot# dovecot -n | grep -E 'sync|nfs' mail_fsync = always mail_nfs_index = yes mail_nfs_storage = yes maildir_very_dirty_syncs = yes
# 2.2.12: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 x86_64 Debian 6.0.9
Let me know. Ciao
Hi All,
I was able to find some time and investigate further. The culprit has been found: "mailbox_list_index=yes". We'd like to use the IMAP NOTIFY extension and this option is a must. But turning on mailbox_list_index with index stored on NFS mounts caused the the error I reported.
Is it a designed/known behaviour or it is a bug? Hopefully my email will be caught maintainers' eyes.
Cheers,
Wesley

But you shouldn't use mail_nfs_*=yes settings in any case. If you use multiple Dovecot servers, you should use Dovecot director and then you can keep using mail_nfs_*=no. If you use only a single Dovecot server then mail_nfs_*=no works fine also.
