<p>Hi Aki</p>
<p>We're using NFS v3. Should we use v4 to avoid this problem?<br>
</p>
<p>Regarding concurrent access, when a user uses more than one
device it can go to any of the servers. It's the same config we
had with dovecot-2.2.10 that never gave us this problem.</p>
<p>So, if the issue is related to concurrent access, is it any
configuration we can apply to solve it? Or the only solution is
director?</p>
<p>Thanks again<br>

Hi All,
We recently moved from RHEL6 to RHEL7 and updated dovecot from dovecot-2.2.10-1_14.el6.x86_64 to dovecot-2.2.36-8.el7.x86_64. We use NFS for storing the mail, and 5 servers running at the same time.
Before updating dovecot we stopped the service and deleted all dovecot.index* files
Now we're experiencing some problems. For example, when deleting an email it is note deleted and appears again duplicated. These are the logs:
Feb 28 08:50:42 server5 dovecot: imap(user@domain): Error: Index path/Maildir/dovecot.index: Lost log for seq=5 offset=228: Missing middle file seq=5 (between 5..4294967295, we have seqs 4): Log is locked - newer log can't exist (initial_mapped=1, reason=Index mapped)

Feb 28 08:50:45 server5 dovecot: imap(user@domain): Error: Failed to map transaction log path/Maildir/dovecot.index.log at sync_offset=10328 after locking: pread() failed: Stale file handle

Usually restarting the email client solves the problem for a while. We've tried deleting the indexes but it happens again some time later.
This is dovecot config:

Hi!
Are you ensuring that the same user is not concurrently being accessed by multiple backends. All mail sessions for a user, including mail delivery.
Are you using NFSv3 or NFSv4?
