This isn't really a problem. Perhaps I should even hide this error message. > Oct 29 16:08:58 myserver dovecot: IMAP(imap1): > open(/data/maildir/i/imap1/.backup/dovecot-uidlist.lo > ck) failed: Read-only file system > Oct 29 16:08:58 myserver dovecot: IMAP(imap1): > file_dotlock_create(/data/maildir/i/imap1/.backup/dov > ecot-uidlist) failed: Read-only file system This is a problem. Dovecot must be able to create dovecot-uidlist file. You could place all the control files to a different directory though, for example: mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir:CONTROL=~/Maildir/dovecot:INDEX=~/Maildir/dovecot Indexes don't really matter, but performance is better if they exist. Anyway if you already have users using the mails, you should copy/move all the dovecot* files to ~/Maildir/dovecot/ under the correct directories. dovecot-uidlist and dovecot-keywords most importantly, otherwise the users will redownload all their mails and lose any message keywords they've set. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

If the problem is that you've a namespace created for a read-only partition, you can simply set subscriptions=no. If that doesn't help, post your dovecot -n output and describe your setup. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

[Dovecot] read only FS access
Hello, I would like to know if it's possible to subscribe to a folder that is on a read only File System ? We have a snapshot mechanism that create a .snapshot directly in the user folder. This is done by our NAS and we would like to give an access to this backup to our users. Thanks. begin:vcard fn:Mathieu Kretchner n:Kretchner;Mathieu org:INRIA;Syslog adr;dom:;;2004 route des lucioles - BP93;Sophia Antipolis;;06902 CEDEX email;internet:[EMAIL PROTECTED] tel;work:04 92 38 76 67 x-mozilla-html:FALSE version:2.1 end:vcard
