[Dovecot] doveot reporting "No space left on device" - yet df show plenty of space / inodes.

[Tom Brownlie]

Hi Timo,
 
That got better results.... I did as requested, tried the problem user and:
 
* 3 log files were created
 
mail:/tmp # ls -l /tmp/dove*                                                  -rw-------  1 root root  8601 Aug  5 11:06 /tmp/dovecot.log.24160.1217898384  -rw-------  1 root root 68107 Aug  5 11:06 /tmp/dovecot.log.24166.1217898385  -rw-------  1 root root 10067 Aug  5 11:06 /tmp/dovecot.log.24170.1217898386  
mail:/tmp # grep ENOSPC dovecot*                                                dovecot.log.24166.1217898385:open("/data/mail/rebecca/temp.mail.24168.891513683e680a10", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_EXCL|O_LARGEFILE, 0666) = -1 ENOSPC (No space left on device)                                                                         dovecot.log.24170.1217898386:open("/data/mail/rebecca/temp.mail.24172.9054608ba8d51503", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_EXCL|O_LARGEFILE, 0666) = -1 ENOSPC (No space left on device)                                                                         
Does that help you in any way?
