Ok, so it appears that this entry in my mtab was causing dovecot to get confused:

rootfs on / type rootfs (rw)

So here is a little patch to make dovecot ignore filesystems of type "rootfs". This seems to fix the problem for me as it just finds the proper mtab entry for the root filesystem.

This is on the root filesystem on the machine, if that has any bearing on the problem.

Hi,

I have a machine running dovecot 2.0 rc4 and I can't seem to get the imap_quota plugin working, every time I try to read the quotas, I get the following in my log:

...

Aug 7 11:58:43 talyn dovecot: imap(chutz): Error: quotactl(Q_GETQUOTA, rootfs) failed: No such file or directory Aug 7 11:59:53 talyn dovecot: imap(chutz): Error: quotactl(Q_GETQUOTA, rootfs) failed: No such file or directory Aug 7 11:59:54 talyn dovecot: imap(chutz): Error: quotactl(Q_GETQUOTA, rootfs) failed: No such file or directory

(Once for each try)

Here is the output of dovecot -n:
