Hello,
I am using dovecot with mdbox+sis and I notice an ever increasing disk
space usage since I converted mailboxes from Maildir to mdboxes. I have
checked with a user and while it actually uses only 65K, his mdbox files
on disk are more than 6G. The backup of his mailbox is just 64K. Any
suggestions ?
Below are some relevant commands:
[root@mail ~]# doveadm quota get -u test
Quota name Type Value

User quota STORAGE 10135

[root@mail ~]# du -k --max-depth=1 /mdboxes/test/

[root@mail ~]# doveadm purge -u test
[root@mail ~]# du -k --max-depth=1 /mdboxes/test/

[root@mail ~]# doveadm backup -u test mdbox:/tmp/MDBOX_TEMP/
