I had noticed that as well Charles. I previously had an empty mail_location value and I didn't see the filesystem reported in dovecot -n output. I just changed to specifying mail_location with mail_location: mbox:/home/%u/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u and I now see this: # 1.2.15: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.34.1 i686 Debian 5.0.7 xfs Note that /var/mail resides in the root filesystem on an EXT2 partition, and that /home is an XFS partition. So dovecot -n is only reporting the filesystem where mailboxes reside, not where the INBOX resides. Would it be preferable that it report both if they are on different mount points/filesystems? -- Stan
