Hi,

Looks like there are still some Solaris rmdir() warnings being
logged to syslog in 1.1.rc1 in nfs_flush_file_handle_cache_dir():

   Feb 23 13:09:51 sx3 dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.error] IMAP(ran04): \
   nfs_flush_file_handle_cache_dir: rmdir(/var/mail) failed: Device busy

Manual for rmdir on Solaris states:

     EBUSY The directory to be removed is the mount point  for  a
           mounted file system.

We are using /var/mail mounted from NFS, which explains the EBUSY
return code.  Not sure how you would be able to get the cache flushed
in this situation.
