Hello.
We are running dovecot 2.0.13 with mdbox+zlib on RHEL 5.7 x64, ext4. We use
NTP. Indexes are in a iSCSI raid 10, mailboxes in raid5. No NFS. We have
detected that sometimes all users get disconnected from roundcube at the same
time. In dovecot logs we hundreds of lines like this:
Nov 3 09:23:07 buzon dovecot: imap(mcrivero@mydomain): Warning: Created
dotlock file's timestamp is different than current time (1320308587 vs
1320308542): /buzones/mydomain/03/67/mcrivero/subscriptions
Nov 3 09:23:07 buzon dovecot: imap(mcrivero@mydomain): Connection closed
bytes=0/295
Nov 3 09:23:07 buzon dovecot: imap(delolmo@mydomain): Warning: Created dotlock
file's timestamp is different than current time (1320308587 vs 1320308542):
/buzones/mydomain/15/77/delolmo/subscriptions
Nov 3 09:23:07 buzon dovecot: imap(delolmo@mydomain): Connection closed
bytes=0/295
I have been googling but I only see problems with remote NFS, our setup does
not use NFS. I give you doveconf -n output & mount options, if more info es
needed, please ask.
