Hello list,

I'm trying to achieve very simple replication, but I'm not sure if I'm starting the good way. I have two Dovecot servers that use the same GlusterFS storage. Of course, the indexes get corrupted eventually, even if I apply an "NFS-like" configuration. So I'd like to synchronize my two servers with each other. I'm trying to follow this page : http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Replication, but I have to admit that it's not really self-explanatory.

I got several errors, so I decided to start fresh, and that is why I'm not giving you any configuration, but I prefer asking if I have the prerequisites.

The page states that my userdb should have "user listing", and that you can check it by issuing doveadm user '*'. But I don't know what it's supposed to produce, apart from my userlist (my userdb is the system passwd file).

As my servers are located on the same private LAN, I decided I would not go with the SSH replication solution, but with the simple mutual TCP connection...

Maybe this is a wrong start. Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance !
