PS: My suggestion to use git as an email filesystem store was in jest. ZFS however is a serious consideration for myself, for TiB+ size filesystems at least. BTRFS and perhaps XFS are starting now to look at the internal-consistency assurance problem too finally (from what I read a month or so ago), due to necessity as we now hit multi-TiB filesystems. PPS: I trust the dd solution may be useful to you - trivial way to create a very large, but perfectly sparse, file, into which you can mkfs.whatever, and then loopback mount. Simple, easy, very useful - and hard won on my part, I went and cut-and-pasted from a hackish script I use that dd line in.
