what's the drawback of using userland NFS?
and, one reason the Maildir format was created was to allow safe mail delivery
over NFS. anyone doing this? what fs is most suitable, in your opinion, for
Maildir which has lots of relatively small files?
the idea is to build a HA mail system using redundant MTA boxes mounting a
single HA RAID-enabled spool machine. one could argue that multiple mailbox
machines distributed by something like the perdition proxy would be better,
though. I think Linux NFS will be the one to make-or-break the former.
