Hi, Yeah the negative pid is interesting. AFAICT we use a negative pid to indicate that the lock was taken on another host:
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/fs/ceph/locks.c#L119 https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/9d5b86ac13c573795525ecac6ed2db39ab23e2a8 "Finally, we convert remote filesystems to present remote pids using negative numbers. Have lustre, 9p, ceph, cifs, and dlm negate the remote pid returned for F_GETLK lock requests." The good news is that my colleagues managed to clear this filelock by restarting dovecot on a couple nodes. But I'm still curious if others have a nice way to debug such things.
