problems with Solaris UFS limits

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

we are running cyrus 2.2.13 on a Solaris 9 machine using ufs as file system. The server is configured with just one partiton (partition-default). The size of the partition-default filesystem is ~500G. We are about reaching its limits, there for we would like to move to a larger storage (1.5T) on a SAN. Unfortunately the Solaris ufs supports just about 1 million inodes / TB when the filesystem is >= 1TB, which of course is not enough for a mail spool. This means we can not just use a single partition but have to use several partitions with filesystems < 1TB.

We are currently using a simple hashed mailspool (a..z). New users are created automatically via the autocreate-patch.

Questions:
Is it possible to automatically distribute the mailboxes evenly on 3 different partitions?
How can this be achieved?
Is there a way that newly created users are also automatically distributed on the different partitions?


Thanks for any hint

  Didi

p.s: We know that we could use the veritas fs or wait for ZFS in order to escape the ufs limits, but thats not an option right now.
