Problem solved with changing the location of the home dir, however, is there a reliable way to do this on the "master" server with all the production data in place?

Greetings,

I'm setting up replication and am getting this error from the server where the replicated mails are being initially created:

Aug 27 11:03:53 molecular dovecot: dsync-server(user@domain.org): Error: Couldn't create lock /vmail/domain.org/user/home/.dovecot-sync.lock: No such file or directory

Can anyone shed some light on this?

Here's the Replicator config of the server which is being replicated to (initially), and it is identical basically with the "master" server:

mail_plugins = notify replication

service doveadm {

    inet_listener {

            port = 1234

    }

}

service replicator {

    process_min_avail = 1

    unix_listener replicator-doveadm {

            mode = 0600

    }

}

service aggregator {

fifo_listener replication-notify-fifo {

    user = vmail

    mode = 0600

}

unix_listener replication-notify {

    user = vmail

    mode = 0600

}

}

plugin {

    mail_replica = tcp:sub.domain.org:1234

}

And doveconf -n:

[root@molecular dovecot]# doveconf -n

Not sure if this helps but here's the ls -la output of /var/run/dovecot:
