Hi!
RCS file: /home/cvs/dovecot/src/lib-index/mail-index.c,v Working file: src/lib-index/mail-index.c revision 1.268 date: 2007-03-11 16:10:42 +0000; author: tss; state: Exp; lines: > +8 -5; commitid: yo3GJUvm1yKgLG9s; If we run out of disk space, move to in-memory indexes.
I just saw the commit. Is this a "solution" for the Quota/FS problem, the problem which occurs when the quota is full, and dovecot can not update it's index files?

Yes. It seems to work quite nicely with my maildir stress tests, but with mbox I'm still getting errors. I'll try to get those fixed.
With maildir there's still the problem of dovecot-uidlist file. I haven't yet even tried to make it do something sensible when it can't be written. I'm not sure if I'll bother. (In my tests I kept the control files in a different partition.)

I understand that the in memory index files are only half of the solution towards a working Quota/FS system. Is the separate partition the only currently functioning solution?

Yes. The control files must be in non-quota partition for now.
