Storage is local hardware-based RAID (SATA drives). FS is ext4.
No core dump that I know of.
Command used (mailbox is over 2GB):

# su vmail -c "dsync -u user at domain.com backup ssh vmail at bk05 dsync -c /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf -u user at domain.com"

Config file:	
# 2.1.9: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
# OS: Linux 2.6.32-220.17.1.el6.x86_64 x86_64 CentOS release 6.2
