There might be some NFS Client+Server combinations that are safe, but since
you've a Linux client I'm guessing your NFS server is also Linux, a known
not-safe configuration. The reason is file locking doesn't' really work on
NFS.
Is it still current ? I had to move the cyrus spool to an nfs server server due
to space problems, and I'm getting some of those:
Jun 11 04:11:53 nw2 imaps[27624]: IOERROR: locking index for
toto.fr!user.coincoin: Unknown code ____ 255
Linux 3.2 on both client and server, nfs v3.
If NFS isn't a good answer, what might be ? Problem here is redundancy (the nfs
server is redundant in a drbd master/slave configuration) and space...
We use iscsi instead of nfs now.
