Re: [Dovecot] what are those .nfsXXXXX files with mbox ?
Thanks,
Dovecot seems to create a lot because of the indexes, but they dissapear with the cron.

There should be a cron job on the server that deletes those
From /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root:
15 3 * * 0 /usr/lib/fs/nfs/nfsfind
Looking at /usr/lib/fs/nfs/nfsfind: # less /usr/lib/fs/nfs/nfsfind #!/bin/sh # Copyright (c) 1993 by Sun Microsystems, Inc.
#ident "@(#)nfsfind.sh 1.7 00/07/17 SMI" # # Check shared NFS filesystems for .nfs* files that # are more than a week old. # # These files are created by NFS clients when an open file # is removed. To preserve some semblance of Unix semantics # the client renames the file to a unique name so that the # file appears to have been removed from the directory, but # is still usable by the process that has the file open.
