[Gluster-users] glusterfs and postfix/dovecot

[James Devine]

What mail storage type were you using?  I've been testing mdbox on gluster
and when I put a lot of load on it using more than one thread I see lots of
corruption problems, both in the index files which store flag information
and in the data storage also.  This doesn't happen on a local filesystem
but I can duplicate it with one dovecot server talking to one gluster
server.
