NAME

   doveadm-mount - Manage the list of mountpoints where mails are stored

SYNOPSIS

   doveadm [-Dv] [-f formatter] mount command [arguments]

DESCRIPTION

   The  doveadm  mount  commands  can  be  used  to  manage  the  list  of
   mountpoints where mails are stored.  This is  used  mainly  for  better
   error handling when a mountpoint isn't mounted for some reason:

   *   If a mail directory doesn't exist, it's autocreated.  If the user's
       mails aren't mounted and filesystem  permissions  still  allow  the
       autocreation,  the  user  will  see an empty mailbox and later will
       have to redownload all mails.  If the mountpoint  is  known  to  be
       unmounted, Dovecot will simply fail opening any mailboxes.

   *   If  dbox  alternate  storage  isn't  mounted  and  a  mail in it is
       attempted to be accessed, Dovecot normally rebuilds the indexes and
       notices  that  all the mails in alt storage are expunged.  When the
       alt storage is mounted back and even if index is again rebuilt, the
       mails  won't  necessarily  become visible anymore for IMAP clients.
       If the mountpoint is known to be unmounted, Dovecot  won't  rebuild
       indexes and lose the mails.

   Dovecot automatically adds mountpoints to this list at startup.  If you
   don't want some of the mountpoints added, you can add a wildcard ignore
   for it.

OPTIONS

   Global doveadm(1) options:

   -D     Enables verbosity and debug messages.

   -f formatter
          Specifies  the  formatter  for formatting the output.  Supported
          formatters are:

          flow   prints each line with key=value pairs.

          pager  prints each key: value pair on its own line and separates
                 records with form feed character (^L).

          tab    prints  a  table  header  followed by tab separated value
                 lines.

          table  prints a table header followed by adjusted value lines.

   -o setting=value
          Overrides       the       configuration       setting       from
          /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf  and  from  the  userdb with the given
          value.  In order to override multiple settings,  the  -o  option
          may be specified multiple times.

   -v     Enables verbosity, including progress counter.

ARGUMENTS

   path   The directory name of a mountpoint

   state  The state of a mountpoint.  Either online or ignore.

COMMANDS

   mount add
   doveadm mount add [path [state]]

   If  this  command  is  run  without any parameters, doveadm detects all
   missing mountpoints and adds them (the same way as when Dovecot does at
   startup).

   When a mountpoint path is given, it's added as a mountpoint.  The state
   can currently be either "online" (default)  or  "ignore".   The  ignore
   state  is mainly useful with path wildcards to add mountpoints that you
   never want Dovecot to automatically add, such  as:  doveadm  mount  add
   '/mnt/*' ignore

   mount list
   doveadm [-Dv ] [-f formatter] mount list

   This command lists the mountpoints known to Dovecot and their state.

   mount remove
   doveadm mount remove path

   This command removes the specified path from the mountpoint list.
