Dovecot version 2.1.7

If a dovecot mount point (drive) dies, and the data is restored into the same path that's no longer a mount point (subfolder), dovecot complains about a missing mount point. Is it safe to do a doveadm mount remove {path} to fix the error since it's no longer a legit mount point? Example: We were storing indexes on an SSD drive mounted at /mnt/ssd. That drive died. I was able to put everything back into the /mnt/ssd folder (no longer mounted, just a folder). Everything seems to be working as expected. But, when I just went to dsync an account from another server to this one, I got the following error:

dsync(sales@foo.com): Error: Couldn't create index dir /mnt/ssd/indexes/6/a/ sales@foo.com/mailboxes: Can't create mailbox root dir /mnt/ssd/indexes/6/a/ sales@foo.com/mailboxes: Mountpoint /mnt/ssd isn't mounted. Mount it or remove it with doveadm mount remove

Would doing a doveadm mount remove /mnt/ssd fix my issue, or cause some type of catastrophe?

Thanks,
