Hello? As a next step to the discussion of UW Imap on NFS, has anyone played with UW IMAP on GFS (RedHat Global File System - http://www.redhat.com/en_us/USA/home/solutions/gfs/) in an environment where multiple IMAP machines are sharing the files.
>From what I have read, GFS should take care of all the locking and synchronization across a large number of attached machines without any problem. Specifically, the file system appears and behaves like a local file system. However, GFS is relatively new and not specifically supported by most SAN vendors. If anyone has any experience setting up a SAN with GFS with load balanced UW IMAP servers using a folder format that depends on the NFS-averse file system operations (i.e. mbx) please let us all know what you have seen.
