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.<br>

I am running gluster with dovecot and postfix on two active/active
servers and it is working relatively OK. <br>
<br>
Sometimes I get an index corrupted message in the mail.err log, but
it's nothing serious. I've had an issue once when files were marked
as bad and got tons of input/output errors, but I managed to solve
it by removing the files from the background storage on one node and
deleting extented attributes on the other node.<br>
