Do you need Maildir++ quota at all? With v1.2 you could use dict

recalculating quota, although it doesn't do that unless the quota

We only needed a temporary solution. Long term, we have already
tested ZFS's user-quota, and this is where we will go. Getting
enough momentum to get the process started (management...) is what
has been frustrating. Would you say this trouble is soft-quotas
scanning, and not just generic index rebuild?
The problem is Maildir++ quota implementation. I did it exactly as
Courier's specs said it should be done.. It doesn't use Dovecot's
indexes at all, so I could get rid of this problem by changing it to
use indexes. But that'll complicate the code and makes it more or less
what the dict quota with file backend does already..
The reason I ask is that; if it is related to quotas, that gives me
yet-another reason to move to zfs quotas (and the trouble will go
away). If it is normal index rebuilding, it will still happen even
after using ZFS quotas.
Yeah, zfs quotas gets rid of this problem. Maybe I should also start
recommending people to use dict quota with v1.2.. Hmm. Although I
think there was also some rare issue with it that I should fix.
