We already have maildir_use_size_file; rebuilding isn't needed often. Do we need a fast/poor quota method for cases where the size-file cannot be used? Other possible ways of balancing: we currently glance at the filename, trying to pull a size encoded in it. That saves an additional per-file stat call to get the size. But without the stat we don't have an inode number... we can hash the filename, but that only works if a hardlink is to a different dir but with the same name. We could glance at the number of links, and only bother remembering >1 link nodes - but, again, we then need to do the stat call. -- Cheers, Jeremy -- ## List details at https://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
