Hello,
I tested with mail_location = whatever-you-have-now:INDEX=MEMORY and it
seems to help, but in the mean time I found another option completely
undocumented that seems to do exactly what I wanted:
protocol lda {
mailbox_list_index_disable= yes
}
Does anyone knows exactly what mailbox_list_index_disable does and if is
still available in 2.0 and 2.1 branch ?
mailbox_list_index_disable does absolutely nothing in v2.0, and it defaults to
no in v2.1 also. It's about a different kind of index.

Right now postfix delivers the mail directly to the nfs server without
any problems. If I switch to dovecot-lda the system crashes do to the
high I/O and locking.
Disabling indexing won't disable writing to dovecot-uidlist file. So I
don't know if disabling indexes actually helps.

I don't have mail_location under protocol lda:
protocol lda {
# Address to use when sending rejection mails.
postmaster_address = postmaster@xxx
sendmail_path = /usr/lib/sendmail
auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master
mail_plugins = quota
syslog_facility = mail
}
The mail_location is present only global. What to do then ?

Another possible advantage will be the support for hashed mailbox directories.

I don't have mail_location under protocol lda:
Just add it there.

Thank you !
Dovecot didn't complain after restart and the dovecot -a reports it
correctly:
lda:
postmaster_address: postmaster@xxx
sendmail_path: /usr/lib/sendmail
auth_socket_path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master
mail_plugins: quota
syslog_facility: mail
mail_location: maildir:/var/virtual/%d/%u:INDEX=MEMORY
I will do a test with this.
