This information is very helpful! Actually I have about 45GB of archives and these archives only hold messages of the last year... I run a clean-up script every first day of a month which deletes posts older than 365 days... So there is lot of disk space needed... ;-) (and even more if I plan to keep posts around for a longer time) > > Another question is: > > How much space do I have to plan (roughly) for the "/opt"-partition for the > > mailman install if the archives are stored under "/var/..."? > > Depends on your archives, the way things are archived (you can choose > > different > database backends, and these might make a difference in how efficiently or > inefficiently data is stored) and whether you want to use the full-text search > index, which adds another big chunk of data. > I can give you a few pointers regarding my setup: my mailman 2.1 data > directory > takes up about 8.2 GB of disk space, most of which are archives, naturally > (8.1 > GB).

Perfect! :-) If I mount an extra partition of 250Gigs at /opt this should carry me for a longer time... And - if I setup a logical volume with LVM - there is an option to stack up the space with ease... ;-) > Mihai Thank you very much for your help!
