NFS client over private network
Hello I have some trouble on a mail server running 9.0-RELEASE-p3 Last week I set up a NFS mounted partition containing 1 Tb of IMAP folders the NFS mount is done through a private network link on a dedicated giga ethernet link with the following config : 10.0.0.1/24 <--> 10.0.0.2/24 mailhub NFS NetAPP 3210 server I use MBOX format on this server ( Postfix + Dovecot 2 ) Since I used this configuration a lock problem occured on some INBOXes here is an example of the problem. Nov 30 23:59:26 mail postfix/local[35280]: 3YCr470N6MzYmp0: to=, orig_to=, relay=local, delay=1527, delays=1470/39/0/19, dsn=4.2.0, status=deferred (cannot update mailbox /var/mail/xxx for user xxx. unable to lock for exclusive access: Resource temporarily unavailable) I don't think Postfix or Dovecot are responsible because when I do not use the "private" NFS link this does not happen ... I mean when the partition is NFS mounted with public IP addess. Thanks for any info if you have some ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

It's simply wont work. It may work, but someday you'll face some issue. Time to change for maildir format :) Bon courage.
