I would like to boost the queue IO performance on our mail servers running qmail 1.03. Both mail servers are SUN boxes running Solaris 7. According to Solaris documentation, starting from Solaris 7, the mount has the noatime option available. Quoted: Suppresses access time updates on files, except when they coincide with updates to the ctime or mtime. See stat(2). This option reduces disk activity on file systems where access times are unimportant (for example, a Usenet news spool). The default is normal access time (atime) recording. I did some reading of the qmail source. It seems to me that turning on this option wouldn't hurt. However, I prefer not to try on our production mail servers. So, I would be very appreciative for a confirmation from anyone who has used this option with good results. While I am at it, how about the logging option too? Regards, Chin Fang [EMAIL PROTECTED]
