Corruption of index files

[Oliver Welter]

Hi All,

after upgrading my mail server (dovecot 1.1.7 -> 2.2.13) I get tons of
messages about corrupted index files in the syslog ("Error: Corrupted
transaction log" and "Warning: fscking index file .. dovecot.index".

I tried flock and even dotlock, but the problems persist.

The system is a VPS with an overlay filesystem which did work flawlessly
with the old dovecot install and is not reporting any errors in the host
machine.

From time to time I get warnings about an exceeded inotify limit for the
dovecot user - might this be a problem? Anybody has an idea what might
be the cause those problems and how to track them down.

Oliver
