I updated my pseudo-production F720 for my staff to 6.4 today because I need to test out the newer code for a much bigger filer that is in production for real people :)
So, files being dumped into my ~/Maildir/ area (Maildir mail format) as mail is being delivered to me. I am the only person on staff that has this config, rest of the users use /var/mail/<user>.
I can watch my procmailrc log and see that mail is being delivered and the filenames involved.
But...
I can use 'ls' to my hearts content and I can *not* see the new messages being delivered.
I was wondering, before I hit up netapp support, if anyone else has seen this kind of behaviour before.
I turned off nfsv3 and rebooted my workstation and I am now mounted via vers=2,proto=udp and it has been verified via nfsstat -c.
Pretty cool problem...one that will cause me to not use 6.4 as it stands right now on my full production filer that is used for mail delivery for 26K accounts in Maildir format...
Mike, I've seen this before (on Solaris AND Linux) with our F760 (a long time ago with version 5.x). ...we have Maildir's, too.
Forgive me if this seems obvious, but...
Make sure the date/time on the toaster is sync'd with the date/time on the NFS client(s)...as much as a second delay will cause this on the client(s). The difference in date/timestamps was our problem back then, and was quickly resolved (it wasn't the version of DOT that caused the problem).
