Interesting. Though, I noticed that NFS client on Linux is much less performant than my old beloved Solaris10. That's why I'm moving to OpenIndiana, I will check if I will get the same as Solaris 10, probably BSD unixes have better NFS than Linux.

Hi. I am also interested in a NFS backend. I don't want to share the NFS partition among servers, so locking should not be an issue. I found this FAQ, it is old: http://www.cyrusimap.org/docs/cyrus-imapd/2.2.13p1/faq.php Actually, I have a Solaris based Cyrus 2.3.16 that happily runs its spool over NFS, and it's even quite fast. I do have a cyrus-2.2 with the mail spool in NFS but the /var/lib/cyrus in local drive. It runs fine so long. It is even faster than iSCSI in my hardware. Now, I'm trying with a Linux and Cyrus 2.4.12. Here it looks unstable, sometime fast, sometime like locked. I guess you already found it, but did you see this thread ? http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.mail.imap.cyrus/26472 ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://www.cyrusimap.org/ List Archives/Info: http://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/pipermail/info-cyrus/
