Postfix <http://www.postfix.org> does a chattr +S on its spool directory when it is installed on Linux. This is what is written in the postfix startup script -- # # LINUX by default does not synchronously update directories - # that's dangerous for mail. # if [ -f /usr/bin/chattr ] then CHATTR="/usr/bin/chattr +S" else CHATTR=echo fi -- Is this still required on ext3 ? If not, maybe some ext3 hacker can inform Wietse about it I recollect once that Andrew Morton had shown that setting data=journal was quite beneficial for Postfix, I am not sure if that was with chattr +S or without Regards, Yusuf -- Yusuf Goolamabbas yusufg@outblaze.com
