Michael,
Please elaborate on how you plan on going about NOT migrating. I
really would like to know.
A few months back I built a new server, and migrated the accounts.
Setting up the server with QT was the easy part. Migrating the data
was the headache to get it perfect.
Do you plan to mount the /var/vpopmail/ dir to a single disk and just
swap them?
My plan is not finalized, but yes, something like that. SATA drives are
huge these days. If I need more than 200GB+ for /home and
/var/vpopmail, then I'll buy a new computer and migrate. By that time,
I'll have plenty of revenue for new systems.
A nice thing, though, if you document your file system and recreate it
identically on a new machine, AND, if your /home and /var/vpopmail are
on a disk array with a removable controller, you can pick up the array
system, move out the old machine, move in the new and put the array into
the new system ...viola, you have migrated your mail subsystem to a new
computer system.
You'll need to have some skill with linux file systems/commands to do
this successfully.
Actually, I think it's /home/vpopmail and /var/qmail ... ?
hth,
Michael
