[courier-users] moving maildirs w/messages to other partition/filesystem

[Marek Pasovsky]

Hello,
is there any safe way how to move maildirs with messages from one 
partition to another??

I have courier-mta happily running but now I need to move all maildirs 
(including messages in them) from one system to another - is there some 
script/description how to accomplish this? Moreover I am moving the data 
from ext3 to xfs filesystem (which I hope should not matter in the process).

I tried (just for test) to copy maildirs with messages onto another 
partition and after that no messages were delivered (even after 
restarting courier). I understand, that the naming of the message files 
in maildirs is somehow connected to inode numers (or so...) so plain `mv 
/old/path/maildir /new/path/maildir` across partitions (filesystems) 
doesn't work.

Any hints how to do this?

Thank you

Marek Pasovsky
