Hi All,
Last night i done monthly maintence on all of my mailhosts and after doing a reiserfsck, it looks like i'll have to rebuild the tree on one of my mail clusters (the other 8 clusters were fine)..
[mailhost01][/root]# df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/emcpowera1 152G 35G 117G 23% /var/spool/virtual
Can anyone tell me roughly how dangerous this is
it is not dangerous. Just, please, make sure you have recent reiserfsck.
and roughly how long something like this will take?
hard to say. It depends on hardware. Given that 35 gb is not too much reiserfsck --rebuild-tree should not take too much. 2 hours? Vitaly may want to correct me, though
The filesystem stores all the users mailboxes in maildir format so there are millions of files..
Any tips/comments would be appreciated..
PS: please do not forget that backuping is important when dealing with user mailboxes even if you are running super reliable hardward and bugless software.
Regards, Cami
