I don’t think exfat is POSIX compliant. A quick search shows
As exfat was created for windows, it is not a POSIX compliant filesystemand is missing a number of features that are expected on unix filesystems, such as symlinks, hard links, file locking, case sensitivity, and permissions. Any permissions you see on exfat are derived from mount options, not from the filesystem.Nov 7, 2021 Ted > On Apr 20, 2024, at 7:04 PM, Joan Moreau via dovecot <dovecot@dovecot.org> > wrote: > > That resolve the fisrt bug > > but I get now : > > Error: link(/xxx/dovecot.list.index.log, /xxx/dovecot.list.index.log.2) > failed: Operation not permitted > >> On 2024-04-21 02:02, Aki Tuomi via dovecot wrote: >> >> Try setting lock_method = dotlock >> Aki >> On 20/04/2024 15:32 EEST Joan Moreau via dovecot >> <dovecot@dovecot.org> wrote: >> I tried and get the following: >> Error: Couldn't create mailbox list lock /xxx/mailboxes.lock: >> file_create_locked(/xxx/mailboxes.lock) failed: >> link(/xxx/mailboxes.locka94f3757318b0b90, /xxx/mailboxes.lock) >> failed: >> Operation not permitted >> On 2024-04-20 17:39, Aki Tuomi via dovecot wrote: >> On 20/04/2024 12:27 EEST Joan Moreau via dovecot >> <dovecot@dovecot.org> wrote: >> Hi >> Would placing my storage on a exfat partition work ?
