You are probably doing file operations before setuid() call, do you initialize things too soon?

No, the change of uid comes at the end of the process (commit)

Nope, there is too little details available. We are not currently seeing this with other FTS drivers. Can you try reproducing this issue and see if you can figure out where the offending call is coming from?

i am seeing this too - the “iamglass” file has root ownership occasionally. i run a cronjob every 30 mins to find/report/change the ownership back to vmail. i am running latest debian repository dovecot 2.3.21 and latest debian repository dovecot-fts-xapian 1.6.0-1 - not building from source so limited debug capability
i acknowledge dovecot is not responsible for the fts-xapian driver. their website https://github.com/grosjo/fts-xapian has the following snippet: Set detach=1 only if your mail storage in on a partition on which you can force the uid/gid. For some reasons, Devoct write as root instead so the filesystem must correct until dovecot team fixes the bug. detach=1 speeds up very much the process. however, the mentioned option “detach” is not recognised in the driver.
looking forward to 2.4 CE and supported xapian driver… cheers ⊣GE⊢
