Hi all, I'm trying to replace a shared NFS (rock solid, btw) with a replicated two-node setup. However I've been struggling with an issue connected in some way with the replication between the two servers (master-master).
The issue is once a folder (say "aaa") is created one one account, it cannot be renamed or deleted. If deleted, it will instantly reappear (when replication is running) or when renamed to "bbb", the operation will fail with an error like the one below: Jan 15 18:21:22 ms1 dovecot: dsync-local(te...@mydomain.ext)<JtJJARLPAWBPJAAAxdOQ8Q>: Error: rename(/var/vmail-local/mydomain.ext/test2/idx/.bbb <http://mydomain.ext/test2/idx/.bbb>, /var/vmail-local/mydomain.ext/test2/idx/.aaa <http://mydomain.ext/test2/idx/.aaa>) failed: Directory not empty Jan 15 18:21:22 ms1 dovecot: dsync-local(te...@mydomain.ext)<JtJJARLPAWBPJAAAxdOQ8Q>: Error: rename(/var/vmail-local/mydomain.ext/test2/idx/.bbb <http://mydomain.ext/test2/idx/.bbb>, /var/vmail-local/mydomain.ext/test2/idx/.aaa <http://mydomain.ext/test2/idx/.aaa>) failed: Directory not empty I can see that the index directory contains both the .aaa and .bbb index directories with dovecot.log files inside. If I stop the one of the nodes all works nicely and I can create, delete and rename folders at will. My setup is as below. dovecot --version -> 2.3.4.1 (f79e8e7e4) the indexes are in a separate directory on /var/vmail-local/ (performance reasons). the mail spool is mounted on /var/vmail/ One node has local disks for everything. It runs with mmap_disable=no, mail_fsync=optimized, mail_nfs_storage=no, mail_nfs_index=no The other node has an NFS based /var/vmail/ and local disks for indexes. On this node I'm using the following settings: mmap_disable=yes, mail_fsync=always, mail_nfs_storage=yes, mail_nfs_index=no The nfs server is v4 The two servers are "orchestrated" by a two-node director cluster. I'm sure I'm missing or misconfigured something. The doveconf -n config is, part from the NFS quick, the same on both nodes as follows: -------- # 2.3.4.1 (f79e8e7e4): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.5.4 () doveconf: Warning: service auth { client_limit=1000 } is lower than required under max. load (2012) doveconf: Warning: service anvil { client_limit=1000 } is lower than required under max. load (1515) # OS: Linux 5.4.78-2-pve x86_64 Debian 10.7 # Hostname: dovecot1.mydomain.ext auth_master_user_separator = + auth_mechanisms = plain login default_process_limit = 500 disable_plaintext_auth = no doveadm_password = # hidden, use -P to show it doveadm_port = 12727 imap_capability = +SPECIAL-USE XLIST listen = *,[::] lmtp_rcpt_check_quota = yes log_timestamp = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S " login_trusted_networks = 172.16.20.0/24 172.16.30.0/24 mail_fsync = always mail_max_userip_connections = 100 mail_nfs_storage = yes mail_plugins = quota notify replication lazy_expunge acl mail_privileged_group = vmail mmap_disable = yes namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Drafts { special_use = \Drafts } mailbox EXPUNGED { autoexpunge = 1 days autoexpunge_max_mails = 20 } mailbox Junk { special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Messages" { special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { special_use = \Trash } prefix = separator = . } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf driver = sql } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/master-users driver = passwd-file master = yes result_success = continue } passdb { driver = pam } plugin { acl = vfile:/etc/dovecot/dovecot.acl lazy_expunge = EXPUNGED mail_replica = tcp:172.16.30.100:12727 quota = dict:user::file:/var/vmail/%d/%n/.quotausage quota_rule = EXPUNGED:ignore quota_status_nouser = DUNNO quota_status_overquota = 552 5.2.2 Mailbox is full quota_status_success = DUNNO sieve = /var/vmail/%d/%n/.sieve sieve_after = /var/vmail/%d/%n/.ispconfig.sieve sieve_before = /var/vmail/%d/%n/.ispconfig-before.sieve sieve_max_actions = 100 sieve_max_redirects = 25 sieve_max_script_size = 2M } protocols = imap pop3 lmtp service aggregator { fifo_listener replication-notify-fifo { group = root mode = 0660 user = vmail } unix_listener replication-notify { group = root mode = 0660 user = vmail } } service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } unix_listener auth-userdb { group = vmail mode = 0600 user = vmail } user = root } service doveadm { inet_listener { port = 12727 } } service imap-login { client_limit = 1000 process_limit = 512 } service lmtp { inet_listener lmtp { port = 24 } unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp { group = postfix mode = 0600 user = postfix } } service quota-status { client_limit = 1 executable = quota-status -p postfix unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/quota-status { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } } service replicator { process_min_avail = 1 unix_listener replicator-doveadm { mode = 0600 user = vmail } } service stats { unix_listener stats-reader { group = vmail mode = 0660 user = vmail } unix_listener stats-writer { group = vmail mode = 0660 user = vmail } } ssl = required ssl_cert = </etc/letsencrypt/live/mail.mydomain.ext/fullchain.pem <http://mail.mydomain.ext/fullchain.pem> ssl_dh = # hidden, use -P to show it ssl_key = # hidden, use -P to show it userdb { driver = prefetch } userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf driver = sql } userdb { driver = passwd } protocol imap { auth_verbose = yes mail_plugins = quota imap_quota notify replication lazy_expunge acl } protocol pop3 { auth_verbose = yes mail_plugins = quota notify replication lazy_expunge acl pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv } protocol lda { mail_plugins = sieve quota notify replication lazy_expunge acl postmaster_address = postmas...@dovecot1.mydomain.ext } protocol lmtp { mail_plugins = quota sieve notify replication lazy_expunge acl postmaster_address = postmas...@dovecot1.mydomain.ext } -------------- My sql config is this: --- password_query = SELECT email as user, password, maildir as userdb_home, CONCAT( maildir_format, ':', maildir, '/', IF(maildir_format='maildir','Maildir',maildir_format)) as userdb_mail, uid as userdb_uid, gid as userdb_gid, CONCAT('*:storage=', quota, 'B') AS userdb_quota_rule, CONCAT(maildir, '/.sieve') as userdb_sieve FROM mail_user WHERE (login = '%u' OR email = '%u') AND `disable%Ls` = 'n' AND server_id = '20' AND EXISTS (SELECT domain_id FROM mail_domain WHERE domain = '%d' AND active = 'y' AND server_id = 20) user_query = SELECT email as user, maildir as home, CONCAT( maildir_format, ':', maildir, '/', IF(maildir_format='maildir','Maildir',maildir_format),':INDEX=/var/vmail-local/%d/%n/idx') as mail, uid, gid, CONCAT('*:storage=', quota, 'B') AS quota_rule, CONCAT(maildir, '/.sieve') as sieve FROM mail_user WHERE (login = '%u' OR email = '%u') AND `disable%Ls` = 'n' AND server_id = '20' --- Best regards,Dave
