Hello,
I have a infrastructure using director in front of backend servers. So
I normally run doveadm commands in director servers, not the backends.
The problem I have is when I try to concatenate commands like this:
doveadm search -S /var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb -u ${user} SAVEDSINCE 5w
| while read guid uid; do
doveadm fetch -S /var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb -u ${user}
size.physical mailbox-guid $guid uid $uid;
done
The problem is that although when I run doveadm search command in the
backend server I correctly get the list of mails, each line with the
mailbox-guid and the uid of the message, when I run the same command in
the director server, format of the list is corrupted and there are lines
that contains just the mailbox-guid and the next the uid (of the
previous) and the mailbox-guid of next, and so on. Like:
e62e0d3834ed094e5c7900007efb8a67 66
e62e0d3834ed094e5c7900007efb8a67 71
e62e0d3834ed094e5c7900007efb8a67 74
e62e0d3834ed094e5c7900007efb8a67
75 e62e0d3834ed094e5c7900007efb8a67
77 e62e0d3834ed094e5c7900007efb8a67
78 e62e0d3834ed094e5c7900007efb8a67
so I can't postprocess correctly the output. I think it could be a bug
in the communication between the doveadm client and server.
PS: As the time of writing this email, I have realized that I could use
fetch command directly. But, anyway, I want to report the problem/bug so
it can be fixed.
