I've seen a number of posts discussing NFS based storage and issues
with Dovecot. When the term NFS is used - does this exclusively
refer to the Linux NFS network file system, or is it a generic
reference to any network file system? I don't recall seeing any
posts referencing issues with CIFS or SMBFS - is this because no one
is using it, or because it just works instead of fiddling with NFS?
I've only tested NFS, but since similar workarounds work for FUSE it's
likely that they also work for CIFS/SMBFS. But there are additional
issues with them, like you probably can't use ':' character (needed by
Maildir) and I don't know if hard links are supported. I wouldn't
recommend using without heavy stress testing. :)
