[Dovecot] fs_flush_file_handle_cache_dir: rmdir(/var/mail) AGAIN
We are running Dovecot 2.0.12. It runs on only one server and /var/mail is local where all the INBOX's are stored. Users other IMAP folders are NFS mounted on the server.
We see frequent
Error: nfs_flush_file_handle_cache_dir: rmdir(/var/mail) failed: Device busy
I know this error message has been around a long time. Should we still be seeing it on 2.0.12 with a local /var/mail. Perhaps the message is misleading and really complaining about folders other than INBOX that are NFS mounted.
Our config has
dovecot.conf:mail_nfs_index = no dovecot.conf:mail_nfs_storage = yes
is that correct given the above?
Also, does the flush error messages have any real consequences? My understanding is that the rmdir is meant to fail, just to force a flush.

With just one Dovecot server you don't need mail_nfs_storage=yes setting. Just set it to "no" and the error disappears.

Yeah, nothing breaks, just extra logging.
