Thanks, but I think you misunderstood my question. I'm trying to
figure out how much disk space I'll actually need for holding the
index files. In other words, I'm looking for a planning factor to
figure out how much disk to buy when I got to Fry's :-).
Using my own maildir as an example here:
root#fam [(/var/gopostal/maildirs/copyleft.no/vegarn)] find . | wc -l
54365
root#fam [(/var/gopostal/maildirs/copyleft.no/vegarn)] du -sh .
902M .
root#fam [(/var/gopostal/maildirs/copyleft.no/vegarn)] find . -name
"dovecot.*" | xargs du -sch | grep total
41M total
Just under a 1:20 ratio in my case.
Cheers,
Vegar Nilsen
