There are a number of different lockfiles that cyrus uses during it's lifecycle. Though one thing you need to know is that it is not designed to run like you're attempting to run it. Each cyrus instance is meant to be standalone, and running them all from a shared disk could very likely cause mailbox corruption, as well as skiplist corruption for the seen/subs entries and such. The only part of cyrus that may be multi-node from same storage safe is the BerkeleyDB stuff used for the mailboxes and deliver DBs.
Hm, yes, he's right. It didn't even occur to me that you were delivering into the same filesystem, though I guess you did say so if I were paying more attention when I read. But really, I suppose it depends what kind of cluster you have. I suppose I can pump you for data later in the week.
