[Dovecot] Warning about NFS but using local fs for INDEX
I am playing around with dovecot and want to use local filesystem for indexing. But whenever I open a new imap connection the following warning is shown:
Apr 30 10:14:42 beira dovecot: Mailbox indexes in /app/home/gasi are in NFS mount. You must set mmap_disable=yes to avoid index corruptions. If you're sure this check was wrong, set nfs_check=no.
/app/home is a NFS mounted filesystem, but I want dovecot to use /export/dovecot/gasi for indexing (See namespaces below). I shurely can follow the hints(nfs_check=no), but I am not shure if I did something wrong or maybe someday will change the configuration and forget to enable the nfs check.
dovecot version: dovecot-1.0-1.2.rc15.el5 on CentOS 5.0 (with all updates).

After adding a default - no namespace - mail location the warning no longer appears! Is it a bug or a feature: I thought defining a namespace with "inbox=yes" should be enought ..?
Here is the added line (from "dovecot -n"):
mail_location: mbox:~/Mail:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u:INDEX=/export/dovecot/%u
.. dovecot version: dovecot-1.0-1.2.rc15.el5 on CentOS 5.0 (with all updates).
