AFS, so I have no idea. Thinking about this some more, we should probably *not* deliver mail to an AFS volume, because there is no good reason (that I can think of) do so, and one rather significant reason to not do so (namely: overhead). If anyone can think of a good reason to do this, let me know. Also, can someone please refresh my memory about what we've decided with respect to putting home directories in AFS? If we have decided to put home dirs completely in AFS, mail would have to be delivered elsewhere, but then we would still need AFS credentials in order to access the user's .procmailrc and .forward. So, may I suggest that we put homes under a local NFS partition, which would only be exported to the machines in the rack? Or failing that, deliver mail to a separate NFS volume outside of home, but with areas for each user? The NFS server would be deleuze, so that mail gets delivered locally and puts less stress on the NFS server (lots of small files == much pain for NFS). Then squirrelmail and courier could also serve mail locally, without having to access many small files across the network. - -- Michael Olson -- FSF Associate Member #652 -- http://www.mwolson.org/ Interests: Lisp, text markup, protocols -- Jabber: mwolson_at_hcoop.net /` |\ | | | Projects: Emacs, Muse, ERC, EMMS, Planner, ErBot, DVC |_] | \| |_| Reclaim your digital rights by eliminating DRM.
