[Dovecot] rmdir() warnings with 1.1.rc1
Hi,
Looks like there are still some Solaris rmdir() warnings being logged to syslog in 1.1.rc1 in nfs_flush_file_handle_cache_dir():
Feb 23 13:09:51 sx3 dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.error] IMAP(ran04):
nfs_flush_file_handle_cache_dir: rmdir(/var/mail) failed: Device busy
Manual for rmdir on Solaris states:
EBUSY The directory to be removed is the mount point for a
mounted file system.We are using /var/mail mounted from NFS, which explains the EBUSY return code. Not sure how you would be able to get the cache flushed in this situation.

So you have mbox INBOXes in /var/mail?

rmdir() is the only possibility and EBUSY doesn't flush it. But I'm beginning to think that maybe this can be fixed for mboxes without flushing the parent dir cache. mbox files in general don't get deleted, so the flushing is probably pretty useless.

Yep:
mail_location = mbox:~/Mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u:INDEX=/var/indexes/local/%u

Ah, makes sense. The errors in syslog aren't causing any problems, but thought I'd mention it on the list since there's quite a few of them in the log.
