I'm building new webserver which will have either 2TB or 4TB of drive space.
Most of the space will be devoted to the /home partition. I'd like to use whatever the standard partition type is for CentOS if possible. With such huge drives, and Maildir directories installed in /home (in Maildir each email is in its own file), what should I look at in terms of block sizes and maximum inodes, to keep maximum efficiency, in speed of access, memory usage, and drive space usage. Would I be better off creating several smaller machines as VPS instances? I imagine figuring this out is a journey rather than a simple answer but I'd like to move quickly to getting this server installed, so I hope I'll get some good information here. Thanks.
