Hi, last day I tried to enable nfsv4 delegation on my cluster (enable nfsv4.0 and read delegation on Netapp and remount the volume on Linux Centos 6.7 clients with Dovecot+Director). It was a failure, after some minutes the load on clients was high, and in dovecot.log I found these errors

Hi, in this tipical setup (Dovecot/Director thate share Maildir via NFS) on your NFS Server you have (about) 90% of read operations and only 10% of write operations. If you see detailed stats for NFS operations you have 40-50% of GETATTR, this means that NFS/Dovecot clients are caching

just a quick update: no issues with NFSv4.0 (load is slowly growing, currently ~7k mailboxes) instead, bad news from delegation front, we enabled it for a couple of days but we ran in ugly issues: processes went in uninterruptible sleep state, load average gets huge, reboot was the only escape

Good to know. Please update us during the moving of mailboxes. I'm also interested into know if you have find benefit from switch to NFSv4 from NFSv3 (load on storage, cache benefits or others). Thanks Il 09/07/2015 17:08, brd ha scritto: just a quick update: no issues with NFSv4.0 (load
