Hello
I have been reading http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailLocation and
http://wiki.dovecot.org/Variables and I do not fully understand the
directory hashing feature. I want to migrate > 70.000 users from Sun
Messaging to Dovecot using imapsync. I have tested with
mail_location=maildir:/buzones/us.es/%1Hu/%2.1u/%n but I get the
following directory tree:
`-- 0
|-- -
|-- 1
|-- 2
|-- 3
|-- 8
|-- _
|-- a
|-- ab
|-- b
|-- c
|-- d
|-- e
|-- ev
|-- f
|-- g
|-- h
|-- i
|-- ie
|-- is
|-- j
|-- jb
|-- jj
|-- jp
|-- js
|-- k
|-- l
|-- m
|-- mb
|-- n
|-- o
|-- p
|-- pp
|-- q
|-- r
|-- rm
|-- s
|-- t
|-- u
|-- v
|-- w
|-- x
|-- y
`-- z
The ideal directory layout should be the following:
First directory level: Letters from a to z
Second directory level: Numbers from 0 to 200
Third directory level: %n (username without @domain)
How can I achive this directory layout (or other optimized for
70.000 users) . I use ext3 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 with directory
indexes on.
Regards
Javier de Miguel
