    <p>Hi,</p>
    <p>I'm running some Dovecot servers configured with LVS + Director +
      Backend + NFS and version 2.2.36.3 (a7d78f5a2).<br>
    </p>
    <p>In the last days I see an increased number of these error:</p>
    <p>Error:
o_stream_send_istream(/nfs/mail/company.com/info/Maildir/.Sent/tmp/1562771349.M255624P9151.pop01)
      failed: Broken pipe</p>
    <p>always with action "Disconnected in APPEND", when users try to
      upload a message in Sent or Drafts.</p>
    <p>Here the logs:<br>

    </p>
    <p>Any suggestions?</p>
