Good day everyone,

I have a situation where my mail-folder structure (mdbox) ist like this:

My users have the following data:

$ doveadm user XYZ@xx.com

field value home /srv/mail/ mail mdbox:foo/XYZ@xx.com/

I also do replication between 2 nodes. Now, I sometimes (when a lot of replication is happening I get the following errors:

dovecot: dsync-local(XYZ@xx.com): Error: Couldn't lock /srv/mail//.dovecot-sync.lock: Timed out after 60 seconds

This of course not only for XYZ@xx.com

It seems to me, that my mailbox structure should rather be:

$ doveadm user XYZ@xx.com

field value home /srv/mail/foo mail mdbox:XYZ@xx.com/

in order to get rid of these messages? Unfortunatly I cannot change that.

I've searched around and took a look into the code of dsync-server, unfortunatly the path to the lockfile is not configurable.

Is there a way to somehow configure the lock-file location for dsync-server?

Thanks very much, udo.
