Forgot to mention before I run 2 NFS servers, each mail server uses a different
NFS server. It
is not the same NFS server for both. Just to clarify that, as I am not trying
to replicate using
the same NFS server with 2 mail servers. I have 2 of each, mail + nfs, and not
at the same
location.

Not many errors are logged. It does not give me anything to go on for the
replication issues.
The only errors I have ever seen logged other than some initial deployment
fubar with
assertion errors. The only other error logged is due to an account I use for
nagios but does
not exist, nobody.
Mar 23 13:01:44 Error: dsync-local(nobody): Couldn't create lock
/var/empty/.dovecot-
sync.lock: Permission denied
Messed with changing nobody's home directory but screwed up other things like
ssh. I just
do
doveadm replicator remove nobody
Not sure if I can put that in a config file, or somewhere so it is more
permanent. I could not
figure out how to ignore that user, while bring in all others.
Occasionally some others with inability to reach the other mail server due to
VPN issues. But
that is not happening when I am experiencing replication issue and is very
rare. Just does log
a few times when it happens.
