I was interested to see someone suggesting putting proc into tmpfs.
That's slightly painful if /var/imap is in ZFS: the order in which
mounts take place means you can't just put /var/imap/proc tmpfs into /
etc/vfstab if /var/imap is coming in through ZFS. A glance at the
source code says

I didn't test but doesn't a symlink work?
Yes, it does (just tried it on a development system).
Definitely, we use it on all our machines.

I've been running this in production:
mkdir /var/imap-proc
chown cyrusd /var/imap-proc
ln -s /var/imap-proc /var/cyrus/imap/proc
Setup vfstab entry for /var/imap-proc as TMPFS , and
that's about all there is to it. But yeah it would be an
improvement to see it configurable.
