Jeff,
reading the dovecot website, I saw this: Dovecot allows mailboxes and
their indexes to be modified by multiple computers at the same time,
while still performing well. This means that Dovecot works with NFS
and clustered filesystems.
The only way of doing this is using locks (flock or fnctl). Try
activating posix-locks.
I had a similar problem with maildrop recently. Because fnctl wasn't
working it wouldn't change one file and report a filesystem error.
Although, this doesn't explain the error message in the log, this is
one problem you also have to solve.
Best,
Daniel

Issue:
Looking at the logs on my mail (dovecot) server, I see the
following errors:
mmap() failed with index file
/opt/GFS/postfix/vmail/jeff@ bofus.org/.Trash/.imap.index
<http://bofus.org/.Trash/.imap.index>: No such device
mmap() failed with custom flags file
/opt/GFS/postfix/vmail/address@hidden/.Trash/.customflags
<http://bofus.org/.Trash/.customflags>: No such device
These of course are on the gluster mount, and the files really do
exist:
-rw------- 1 vmail vmail 6816 Nov 5 21:07
/opt/GFS/postfix/vmail/jeff@ bofus.org/.Trash/.imap.index
-rw------- <http://bofus.org/.Trash/.imap.index-rw-------> 1
vmail vmail 100 Oct 15 14:11
/opt/GFS/postfix/vmail/address@hidden/.Trash/.customflags
<http://bofus.org/.Trash/.customflags>
I was not using posix-locks at first and this same type issue came up
but with the .subscription file. I am not sure whether including
posix-locks or the restart/remount required to enable it fixed this
issue for the .subscription file.
This does not happen when I use a plain ext3 local disk mountpoint.
Only on glusterfs mountpoint.
Does anyone know why the files say "No such device" when they are
clearly there on the filesystem?
Thanks for any assistance!
