Hello people!
I have huge problems with IO wait becase dovecot configured to use maildir is under OCFS2 1.4. Now i have an question to OCFS2 each disk action is really heavy becaue it has no index.
Now i am thinking in what can be done to heltp my system to use less disk.
Looking for index and etc in dovecot i found this, this disables the index file on disk and leave it on ram or it disable the index files ?
If you really want to, you can also disable the index files completely by appending :INDEX=MEMORY
I am only trying to get dovecot to work faster. Right now we have to waing some seconds to dovecot list all emails or read an email.
I am also thinking in right index to an NFS but i don't know if this makes any diferences in performance.
Thanks to all!
I use 3 servres wrinting on OCFS2 one is mailman, and other two are to email, I have ipvs to load balance the conections.

http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailLocation/SharedDisk
and a few more optimizes about maildir
how many clients ?
i started the server not long ago so they are less yet ( about 100 maildirs ) but i have my own account in it which has massive mails ( 10 GB store with over 1000 mails daily in out , and perhaps 10000 mails in store)
sorry, i did not say i use dovecot 2.0.6
looks fine, update to 2.0.8 if ready
did you use the mail option at ocfs2 store creation ?
what os/distro do you use , i remember bugs with ocfs with some distro versions

Robert, are you running an active-active setup with drbd+ocfs2?
Have you ever seen errors like these in the logs?
