Hi All,after upgrading my mail server (dovecot 1.1.7 -> 2.2.13) I get tons of messages about corrupted index files in the syslog ("Error: Corrupted transaction log" and "Warning: fscking index file .. dovecot.index". I tried flock and even dotlock, but the problems persist. The system is a VPS with an overlay filesystem which did work flawlessly with the old dovecot install and is not reporting any errors in the host machine. From time to time I get warnings about an exceeded inotify limit for the dovecot user - might this be a problem? Anybody has an idea what might be the cause those problems and how to track them down.
Some more debugging - I did a "fuser" on a broken dovecot.index file and see a lot of stale file handles, looks like something is not cleaning up. Any ideas are still welcome....
