DOVEADM-MOUNT(1)		    Dovecot		      DOVEADM-MOUNT(1)

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 mountā€
       points 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.

       -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.

REPORTING BUGS
       Report bugs, including doveconf -n output, to the Dovecot Mailing  List
