Okay, this is very cool.

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.

ie:

uranus% ls -lt total 8580 -rw------- 1 drechsau 931 Feb 24 18:58 _BIB.L_rW-.baal -rw------- 1 drechsau 2410 Feb 24 08:29 _GcG.uwiW-.baal -rw------- 1 drechsau 12716 Feb 23 16:21 _fb.elUW-.baal -rw------- 1 drechsau 733045 Feb 23 12:35 _dj.0RRW-.baal ... uranus%

But:

So, files are 'there'.

Now:

uranus% ls -l /home/drechsau/Maildir/new/_rOB.ECsW-.baal -rw------- 1 drechsau 8683 Feb 24 19:01 /home/drechsau/Maildir/new/_rOB.EC sW-.baal uranus% ls -lt Maildir/new total 8580 -rw------- 1 drechsau 931 Feb 24 18:58 _BIB.L_rW-.baal -rw------- 1 drechsau 2410 Feb 24 08:29 _GcG.uwiW-.baal -rw------- 1 drechsau 12716 Feb 23 16:21 _fb.elUW-.baal -rw------- 1 drechsau 733045 Feb 23 12:35 _dj.0RRW-.baal ... uranus%

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...
