RE: piler and public folders
Hello Stephen, if you referred to Adam's email (~a year ago), see the following url (http://www.mail-archive.com/piler-user@list.acts.hu/msg00589.html), then it's actually ready. That's the email chain I was reading, actually. One thing has changed, though: it's '-a' (not -R). If you have something different in mind, then let me know, and I'll try to solve it. That's what I was looking for. Is there documentation that lists how to use the '-a' switch? If it's possible to directly import my public folders, rather than exporting to pst, then doing readpst to convert and import them, that is preferable! -- Regards, Stephen Risinger Systems Administrator
Re: fixing the message storage

So, the directories would by 4- or 5-levels: ./2015/04/ff/fff/ff/ That would make it easier to use the symlink suggestion from extremeshok. Actually the top level store dirs, eg. 551, 552, 553, ... refer to the date. Each such directory holds ~12 days of emails. So if you are writing to 553, then you can be sure that no previous dirs (..., 551, 552) changes any more. (Except if you remove old emails with pilerpurge). Anyway some other ideas emerged on the bitbucket page. Related to the topic, it would be useful to have the storage scheme mentioned in the install documents. I might have tweaked my inode ratio had I known each message was stored as a file. I've just added your note to the installation manual. What I ended up doing was making /var a logical volume sitting on vg containing of two AWS physical volumes. That way I could add more physical volumes and extend the LV as needed. Not quite what the request is for, but it's similar.

Someone asked for supporting multiple storages (https://bitbucket.org/jsuto/piler/issue/540/multiple-storage). I'd like to hear your opinions on the matter as well. Janos

How should/could that be used for public folders? if you referred to Adam's email (~a year ago), see the following url (http://www.mail-archive.com/piler-user@list.acts.hu/msg00589.html), then it's actually ready. To quote an old email: a similar approach may work out. I'll hack the pilerimport utility to add a new option, eg. -R shared-folder@company, then piler adds this as an extra address to the email. Then one more task to do: have all users to be in a group allowed to access this artificial email. Perhaps it could be more easily done by creating a distribution list in Active Directory, and make sure everyone is member of it. One thing has changed, though: it's '-a' (not -R). If you have something different in mind, then let me know, and I'll try to solve it. Janos
