Could you try what happens, if you create the hardlink manually as the
vmail user _two_ times, if the first link() succeeds. Maybe:
1) hard links won't work on your encfs,
2) link() fails with "Operation not permitted" instead of "File exists" in
your case, if the target file already exists.
Something like: sudo -u vmail ln \
/var/decrypted/vmail/aleme.nu/root/mailboxes/INBOX/dbox-Mails/dovecot.index \
/var/decrypted/vmail/aleme.nu/root/mailboxes/INBOX/dbox-Mails/dovecot.index.backup.tmp
It turns out (1) was the problem—encfs doesn't allow hard links in my
configuration. I've set maildir_copy_with_hardlinks to no; hopefully
that will resolve the issue. Thanks so much for your help!
Unfortunately, even with maildir_copy_with_hardlinks set to "no", the
problem still seems to persist. So my question becomes: is there a way
to prevent dovecot from using hardlinks in all circumstances? (If it
I don't think so.
isn't possible, I can change my encfs setup.)
