Hi all,

I've recently converted our company server from 5.2 release
to 4.10 stable. I'm in the process of ironing out last
little issues i'm having. This problem has to do with my
mail setup. I'm running postfix MTA and courier-imap
server.

My maillog file is filled with messages like the following:

<Jun 20 15:47:05 server imapd-ssl: Failed to create cache
file: maildirwatch (fre
Jun 20 15:47:05 server imapd-ssl: Error: Input/output error
Jun 20 15:47:05 server imapd-ssl: Check for proper
operation and configuration
Jun 20 15:47:05 server imapd-ssl: of the File Access
Monitor daemon (famd).
Jun 20 15:47:05 server imapd-ssl: Failed to create cache
file: maildirwatch (fre
Jun 20 15:47:05 server imapd-ssl: Error: Input/output error
Jun 20 15:47:05 server imapd-ssl: Check for proper
operation and configuration
Jun 20 15:47:05 server imapd-ssl: of the File Access
Monitor daemon (famd).>

I'm not too sure where to start - i suspect that whatever
is trying to create the cache file doesn't have the
neccesary permissions. If so, what is the location of this
cache file?  Otherwise, any other suggestions would be most
welcome.

Thanks,
Gareth
