Another thing to consider it throughput. High IO servers like postfix will benefit from splitting up the partitions on multiple drives. That way your IO can be split between drives, lowering IO on the individual drives. A postfix guru gave me a recommended layout once for a high usage postfix serve, but I don't have it handy.. sorry. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Daniel Wright" <dw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "CentOS discussion and information list" <centos@xxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, March 29, 2005 2:24 PM Subject: [Centos] email server partition scheme > As someone new to setting up an email server and actually in the process > of researching it, I have actually found the thread, "sendmail vs. > postfix" very interesting.
