[Dovecot] Enabling quota
Hello everybody. Sorry if this has been answered before, I just could not find any info. Just point me if that is so.
Can somebody please explain why there is no option --with-quota (ot may be --with-fs-quota) for the configure command?
As it stands now, at least for the fs back-end the only thing that tells us that Dovecot does not do quotas is after the build/configuration we get
dovecot: imap(xxdxx): Error: quotactl(Q_GETQUOTA, csfs9.cs.ucy.ac.cy:/mail) failed: No such file or directory
which essentially means that during the build no quota development libraries were found and therefore fs quota will not function. This is rather confusing and the above error does not help much. Note also that "dovecot --build-options" is also silent on this. I suppose other back-ends do not have this requirement since there is no need for such devel libraries.
thankx Andreas

in which development library your system needs? I thought that error message means, that the file "csfs9.cs.ucy.ac.cy:/mail" does not exist (or that there is no quota there).

Exactly here is the confusion. I have verified that this error is not related to the actual mount but the way Dovecot has been built. Actually the existence of the development libraries. In my case on a CentOS system it needs to find the quota-devel libraries which it finds and silently builds quota support for the fs back-end. Note that nothing afterwards tells you that that has happened!! I think!!!
