(1) Because it balances very poorly (2) Because it still doesn't solve the OP's problem (that is, courier imap must get its homedir path from some sort of backend database; it doesn't use any algorithmic method for mapping a username to a home directory location) > > This give to you the opportunity to split the more large folders into other > drive. > /dev/sdc0= --> / > /dev/sdc1= --> /DIR/a With a backend database, you can just map some accounts to /mail1/someuser and others to /mail2/otheruser arbitarily. Then you can migrate accounts between directories easily, e.g. for reasons of balancing space or disk I/O load.
