[Dovecot] Unable to (un)subscribe mbox with AIX, NFS and netapp filer

[Ralf Becker]

Hi Timo,

today I found this in the logs again:

Jul 29 10:38:27 trevi mail:err|error dovecot: IMAP(beckerr):
 fchown(/u/f0/rzuser/beckerr/Mail/.subscriptions.lock, -1, -1)
 failed: Invalid argument

Jul 29 10:38:27 trevi mail:err|error dovecot: IMAP(beckerr):
 file_dotlock_open() failed with subscription file
 /u/f0/rzuser/beckerr/Mail/.subscriptions: Invalid argument


I located the bug in src/lib/file-dotlock.c ... a patch is attached.


Ralf
