Hello, I have a email server with two local partitions for mailboxes ("default" and "part2"). Recently these partitions became almost full so I decided create a new partition over a NFS mountpoint and migrate all the mailboxes to this new partition ("part3"). The target is to move all the mailboxes to "part3" in order to leave "default" and "part2" completely empty. Once this is done I want to stop using them ("default" and "part2") and remove physically the hardisks where they are in order to plug new bigger disks. After moving all the mailboxes to "part3" everything is working fine but, before removing "default" and "part2", I would like to make a question: The question is. How I can be completely sure that I can do it safely? I have done the next tests but I would prefer to ask to experts like you before doing It. Its a production server with almost 20000 mailboxes: // list of partitions pcocol01:~ # cat /etc/imapd.conf | grep -i part partition-default: /buzonesdir partition-part2: /mnt/aux partition-part3: /mnt/celerra defaultpartition: part3 ============================================================ // mount points of these partitions pcocol01:~ #
