I notice you've resolved this, but I find the information Dovecot
provides on that link, "Dovecot wants to keep track of mountpoints that
might contain emails," to be quite disturbing. I don't think a mail
program should be behaving like that, at all. Imagine the mess we'd be
in all sorts of programs started ploughing through the directory tree,
without being told to, just because they thought it was a good idea.
Since Fedora likes to put removeable media into /var/run/username/media
you might encounter that problem again, unless you put /var/run into its
ignore database.
(and sub-thread replies to Tim)
After dovecot restarts and a reboot, (lazarus's) bind-chroot
mountpoints warnings has not risen from the grave. ;)
Do you think the dovecot programmers read "Fedora Community"
mailing list? I don't think so, but I could be wrong...
Why not ask dovecot.org?
I read their site and it appears that dovecot supports clustered
filesytems, *dsync, and a myriad of different things. Then I found
this:
* http://blog.dovecot.org/2012/02/dovecot-clustering-with-dsync-based.html
(Could replication/clustering/dsync have something to do with
detecting disk changes?)
Since I mentioned that I installed bind-chroot, installed dovecot,
then uninstalled bind-chroot, perhaps triggering dovecot to notice
a disk change (dsync) and thus generated bind-chroot mountpoint
warnings, repeatedly? I do recall that when I installed bind-root,
dovecot did not complain and I had this running for a week or so.
The dovecot warning came after I removed bind-root.
Just something to consider...
