Hello, I'm running on OpenStack. I don't know about your provider, however mine gives me a similarly shared storage device for the root partition. Nevertheless, I'm toying with the idea of selectively creating mailboxes on different partitions whereby one partition would be the local root disk, another partition would be a block storage partition where I would create an "Archive" mailbox for each user, where they can move their email themselves... Why? This saves me from needing to keep increasing the size of my IMAP server.

Hello, I ask if anyone ever tried cyrus-imapd /var/spool/imap partion over an openstack cloud storage. I have such an idea to try it but if anyone already did it, I wanted to ask if this can slow the cyrus-imap access to file and folders, or if this is just good for a sort of imap storage reiliability. I have to implement an imap server for about 10000+ mailboxes. any hints on the architecture I might use ? thank you Rick ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://www.cyrusimap.org/ List Archives/Info: http://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/pipermail/info-cyrus/ To Unsubscribe: https://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/mailman/listinfo/info-cyrus ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://www.cyrusimap.org/ List Archives/Info: http://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/pipermail/info-cyrus/ To Unsubscribe: https://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/mailman/listinfo/info-cyrus
