Package: icedove
Version: 31.0-1
Severity: serious
--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
After migrating my home directory to a 1.8TiB XFS partition, I could not
access my emails anymore. Icedove would open, but all extensions from
the profile folder were missing. The accounts were listed with the name
crossed out in the folder pane - yet the INBOX of my POP3 account (and a
single subfolder) would show up (including the mail contained
therein)... Rsyncing the profile folder from my backup one time after
another and trying various things kept me busy for most of the day...
with an AUFS union set up merging the backup root partition (ro) and
/tmp (rw), the same profile folder did work!
Digging deeper I finally found the right clues to identify the problem
cause: xfs uses 64-bit inodes by default for volumes >1TiB (and I think
BTRFS does now, too).. Icedove chokes on those.
The failing 32bit-getdents() call in strace:

chromium seemingly had the problem:

64-bit icedove reportedly does work with xfs/inode64..

Running a 32bit distro with >1TeraByte partitions is probably rather
uncommon so I couldn't find a bug reported for this upstream..
just something similar (?) fixed up 4 years ago..

Sorry, no idea where exactly the relevant file is, I tried to check out
the source but it was beyond me. For now bind mounting my profile^^
