[Dovecot] index file corruption
Hi,
I'm using Dovecot (dovecot-0.99.10p0) on OpenBSD-3.4 for few weeks now.
When i connect to my IMAP account the connection is often closed by dovecot when i try to delete mails.
I can see messages like this in log:
Feb 29 18:47:00 po imap(mat@reynerie.org): Corrupted binary tree file /home/mat/Maildir//.INBOX/.imap.index.tree: used_file_size larger than real file size (1772 vs 1556)
I tried to remove all index files, but the problem still occur. I also tried Maildir and Mbox, same problem (i can't remember if the log are similar with mbox, if needed i will test again).
I have ktraced the imap process and try (succesfully) to reproduce this behaviour: I have re-send a lot of spam and delete few of them from mailbox until the problem occur.
All logs/kdump/config are here: http://mat.reynerie.org/dovecot/ In the kdump file, the problem is visible at the end, Dovecot is compiled (via ports) with:
env CFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib" CONFIGURE_ARGS="--with-ldap --with-ldap-includes=/usr/local/include --with-ldap-lib=/usr/local/lib" make
Searching the mailing list archives, i have not found any solutions.

I guess Dovecot doesn't work too well with OpenBSD now. Although I haven't heard of constant failures with it. OpenBSD-port had a patch which tried to fix this issue, but I don't think the patch is perfect.
Real fix will be next version..

Sorry for this late answer.
My first try was with the OpenBSD's port, patchs were applied. Without patchs and newer dovecot version, i can't see any differences about the index related problem. I've failed to apply all OpenBSD's patch to dovecot 0.99.10.4, so i didn't applied any.
Real fix will be next version..
i'm impatient :) Best regards.
