I'm looking for some help with an nfs error that is filling our logs. I
get a constant stream of these messages:

What OS are your dovecot and NFS servers running? Is /var/mail (or
whatever it may be symlinked to) an NFS mountpoint?
We're on Solaris 10x86 mounting /var/mail from another Solaris 10 hosts via
NFS4.
Yes, /var/mail is an NFS. These are the mount options:
mayor.ics.uci.edu:/mail_tank_001/spools - /var/mail nfs -
yes rw,nosuid,hard,intr,bg,noac
Are you using Dovecot version 1.1.1? If you are using an earlier
version (i.e. a 1.1 release candidate), there was an update that was
made that eliminited these errors in certain circumstances.
Specifically under Solaris I might add.
If you are using 1.1.1, I'll have to defer to others to solve the
problem. I just remember running into those errors and having them
disappear once I upgraded to a final release version.

Thanks Dean.
We are using Dovecot version 1.1.1. I was hopeful after seeing the
earlier fixes for Solaris too. But now I wonder if there isn't just
one more similar fix that needs to go in.
Hans.
