Hi,
I've been wondering for a while if reiserfs is dovecot+maildir safe or not. I get this too often (and my imap session gets disconnected):
Jun 9 08:42:32 sun imap(nk): Corrupted index file /home/nk/Maildir/.INBOX/.imap .index: UIDVALIDITY changed in uidlist
This happens always when a new mail arrives in maildir.
It's a Fedora Core 2 box running dovecot-0.99.10.4-4 (redhat) package.
Could the reason for these corruptions be something else than reiserfs? I know there has been some problems with Fedora+dovecot but I haven't seen this one reported here.
TIA,

Sorry I can't directly answer your specific question. But...

Cheers, the new rpm seems to fix the problem.

I was a bit too optimistic, it didn't fix it )-:

Is something else modifying the maildir? Does the UIDVALIDITY actually change in dovecot-uidlist file? It's the second number in first line.
I can't think of why it would happen only with reiserfs.

I'm just doing a 'send/receive all' with evolution. The value doesn't change.

Perhaps it's another Fedora bug.
