My question: So is *anyone* here happy with Cyrus on ext3? We're a small site, only 3200 users, 246GB mail. I'd really rather not try anything more exotic for supportability reasons, but I'm getting worried that our planned move from Solaris 9/VxFS to RHEL4/ext3 on significantly newer and faster hardware is going to be a downgrade.
We run Cyrus on ext3 under Debian Linux without complaints here. We have approximately 35000 mailboxes/users split between 2 backend servers. Each backend server is connected to an EMC Cx500 SAN (no shared access or anything fancy) with 800GB of mail spool each. The commands used to build the filesystems were:
mkfs -t ext3 -j -m 1 -O dir_index /dev/sdb1 tune2fs -c 0 -i 0 /dev/sdb1 The filesystem is mounted like so: /dev/sdb1 /private ext3 defaults,data=ordered,noatime 0 2 If you want more information, just ask. :) Andy ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyruswiki.andrew.cmu.edu List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
