Sorry to bother all you, but I am refactoring my home server and I am trying to 
move all my mailboxes over a (simil)RAID based storage.

Moving the actual mailboxes is a piece of cake, and with rsync all permissions 
are copied from one server to the other. I did re-apply the ownership, as the 
courier user had to change from one installation to the other, and I did 
re-install 0.74.1 (I know, there is the .2 out there, but for the moment I am 
sticking with what I know works for me ;) )

So after all this migration pain I startup the new server and give it a test 
run, before getting it into production, and all hell brake loose. Basically 
when I get a message, mail drop fails with the following error:

courierlocal: 
id=0000000000220659.000000005574A4F2.00001635,from=<xx@xx>,addr=<xx@xx>: 
maildrop: link() failed.

The only think that comes to my mind is that the mailboxes are actually mounted 
via 9p (the mail server is a VM running on top of the HOST/Storage). I did try 
to mount the directory with NFS, and got the same error.

What would be the best practice to actually have mailboxes stored on an NFS/9p 
mounted partition? I did some research on the web, but nothing conclusive came 
out.

Thanks to all that may help me.

Best regards,

ivan
