Sorry pal, my bad... I read it wrong :). You are using posix-locks.
Is there a way to run the command getting the error through strace
when it occours? Strace shows every call made to the filesystem by the
software and show you the return value of each call.
With strace -a you can attach it to a process, them you have to force
the error, and them check to see what's going on. If you can't find
it, past the result at http://gluster.pastebin.com/
<http://gluster.pastebin.com/> and show it to us please. Try to narrow
the moment of the error as such as possible in the strace log as it
can get quiet big. Using strace -tt or -ttt (I'm not sure) will help
you with that.
Best,
Daniel

I am obviously new to glusterfs, however, I thought I had enabled

volume posix-locks-knworksmail

or am I missing something?

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

I am hoping someone can shed some light on this issue for me.
version info first:
server OS: CentOS release 4.5 (Final)
fuse: fuse-2.7.0-glfs5
glusterfs: glusterfs-1.3.7
client OS: CentOS release 4.5 (Final)
fuse: fuse-2.7.0-glfs5
glusterfs: glusterfs-1.3.7
Mount:

Configuration contents listed below issue.
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!
