I've switched to NFS instead of GlusterFS, and the problems have
disappeared.
It's too bad... GlusterFS had some nice features ...

error:
Maildir: Expunged message reappeared, giving a new UID
This means:
1. readdir() returns maildir file X
2. Later readdir() doesn't return file X, so Dovecot thinks the mail is
expunged and also tells the client the mail is expunged
3. Later readdir() once again returns file X, so Dovecot can't really do
anything except treat it as a new mail.
Possibly caused by GlusterFS, the indexes were still getting corrupted, even
with only 1 server... so I've moved the indexes to a local directory on each
server. I'm no longer getting index related errors... but the expunged error
is still occuring... and the error seems to happen a few moments before the BB
gets a bunch of messages... so it's very likely related.
I would like to continue using GlusterFS if possible; I haven't found any
indication that it is outright unsupported, as long as I'm using Director...
If glusterfs can't do readdir() reliably, there's not a whole lot you can do..
Except maybe switch to another mailbox format. But if you're getting index
corruption also with 1 Dovecot server, it doesn't look very promising.
