well i've only got about 25k accounts (but considering it was only ~14k last year i'm trying to plan for the best), but right now i serve all mailboxes and personal webspace via NFS from an ext3 partition on a fibre channel SAN. I've had no issues as of yet (and a few of the mailboxes, like mine push a gig), although courier seems to choke on my mailbox on occasion, but i'm also on an older version. and if anyone is interested ... i'm getting ready to try a basic LVS cluster (redhat's cluster with 2 load balancers on top of 4 mail servers that all directly access a san via fibre channel) with gfs as the file system. ohh and i do realize its probably a bit over kill, but i'm trying to plan for high availability. *crosses fingers* i'll try to remember to tell how it fares, if anyone is curious and i havent said anything feel free to yell at me, project should be done over the next month or so. -greg ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Tame your development challenges with Apache's Geronimo App Server.
