[Dovecot] Corrupted index files
I'm using alpha 5 and I'm getting "Corrupted index cache files" errors on one user's account. I found several posts in the mail archives on this subject and concluded from the responses that it's not a serious problem because Dovecot can deal with it. I deleted the index files and they were recreated but the error persists. The end user did not notice any problem but it makes me nervous. Is this something I should be concerned about?

By the way... is there a search function somewhere for searching the mailing list archives? I ended up selecting one month at a time and searching through the thread titles with my browser's "find" button.

gmane does a fairly good job IMO: http://search.gmane.org/search.php?group=gmane.mail.imap.dovecot&query=corrupted+index

/export? Is this NFS? Have you set mmap_disable=yes? Have you set lock_method=fcntl?

There's a search box in dovecot.org's upper right corner.
All file systems are local, nothing is NFS mounted. We are using maildir so locking should not be an issue as far as I know. OK, mmap is referring to locking of index files. All my mmap parameters are commented out so they are using defaults values. I also checked lock_method and it is indeed set to fcntl.
I need to read up on the mmap parameters.
