[Dovecot] Upgrade to new server question
I'm vainly trying to get a new server ready to become the default mail server. We have a SAN, so I don't need to move the mailboxes (I can mount the same partition from both machines), but the question is what version of dovecot to load.
I'm assuming that I cannot run both 0.99.14 and 1.00.x on the same maildirs (the indexes differ?). However, is it safe for me to mount the same maildirs from two different boxes?

No if you are not mounting mail spool over NFS with single node accessing the SAN. If you wish to have multiple nodes accessing the same disk area from SAN you need clustering file system like Polyserve PSFS or Redhat GFS.

And it is important to point out that even with those there are still some issues with current 1.0-test releases when using shared mail spool and indexes.
