Hello,

can dsync convert from compressed mbox to compressed mdbox format?

When I use compressed mbox files, either with gzip or with bzip2, I can read the mails as usual, but I find the following errors in dovecots log file:

imap(userxy): Error: nfs_flush_fcntl: fcntl(/home/hrz/userxy/Mail/mymbox.gz, F_RDLCK) failed: Bad file number imap(userxy): Error: nfs_flush_fcntl: fcntl(/home/hrz/userxy/Mail/mymbox.bz2, F_RDLCK) failed: Bad file number

These errors also appear when I use dsync to convert the compressed mbox to mdbox format on a second dovecot server:

/opt/local/bin/dsync -v -u userxy backup mdbox:/sanpool/mail/home/hrz/userxy/mdbox dsync(userxy): Error: nfs_flush_fcntl: fcntl(/home/hrz/userxy/Mail/mymbox.gz, F_RDLCK) failed: Bad file number

But now dovecot does not find the mails in the folder mymbox.gz on the second dovecot server in mdbox format!

The relevant part of the dovcot configuration is:

# 2.0.16: /opt/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: SunOS 5.10 sun4v mail_fsync = always mail_location = mbox:~/Mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u mail_nfs_index = yes mail_nfs_storage = yes mail_plugins = mail_log notify zlib mmap_disable = yes

Thank you,
