However, that turned out to be a little big in practice because it takes a long time to backup 700-750GB of Cyrus mailboxes. The new servers that I am migrating to now are using 500GB partitions. Currently, I have 2 per server, with 3 servers. The config looks like: defaultpartition: p1 partition-p1: /var/spool/cyrus/mail/data1 metapartition-p1: /var/spool/cyrus/mail/meta1 partition-p2: /var/spool/cyrus/mail/data2 metapartition-p2: /var/spool/cyrus/mail/meta2 metapartition_files: index cache expunge squat My plan is to add additional partitions if they fill up, but I might also just add additional servers (these are running under VMWare).
