Hi chaps We're using the mbox_snarf plugin to snarf mail from /var/mail/%U to ~%U/Mail/inbox and using dotlocking on all accesses. This is on Solaris with NFS mounted home directories.
We're getting a few (very few) of these for just a couple of users: Error: nfs_flush_file_handle_cache_dir: rmdir(/var/mail) failed: Device busy Which, having searched, I see some discussion of in the past, but not with 1.2. We're using: mail_privileged_group = mail For the /var/mail 'inboxes', which I thought would tackle this problem. Couple of questions, if you don't mind: 1. Does dovecot user need to be a member of the mail group? 2. Does this error message represent a real problem that needs solving? It's very strange how rare it is and that only a few select users have encountered.
