[Dovecot] Synchronization error in NFS

[Andy YB Hu]

Another question is about the director failover. In
http://blog.dovecot.org/2010/05/new-director-service-in-v20-for-nfs.html
you said: "The main complexity here comes from how to handle proxy server
failures in different situations. Those are less interesting to describe
and I haven't yet implemented all of it, so let's just assume that in
future it all works perfectly."   So currently there is no good way to
handle the director failover,  or any 3rd party solution like poolmon by
Brad Davidson for health monitoring of backend servers?

Thanks.

You can give -c parameter also to doveadm (and all other Dovecot programs
as well).

I'm guessing that it's connecting to wrong Dovecot's auth process. Use
doveadm -c instead of -a.
