This is some weird filesystem? fstat() isn't supposed to ever fail with ENOENT. > Another thing that irritates me is that dovecot seems to use the dotlock > locking method, although I explicitly set lock_method to > fcntl (also tried flock, same behavior). The lock_method setting only affects index files. There are several others that always use dotlocks, because they're rarely enough modified that the dotlock performance doesn't matter. That's also why I haven't bothered to set use_excl_lock for them.
