Re: [vchkpw] vpopmail domain folder
Thanks a lot Jeremy! I didn't know about directory hashing! Now I understand it a bit :) By the way, I'm using ext2 and I'm sure I won't use more than 600 files in a directory. I know I can have problems, but I'll try not hashing :) Do you know the hashing limit of ext2? (But this is not the mainly question yet and I know this is not part of you, but who knows you can tell me :) ) So, I recompile vpopmail with the --disable-users-big-dir flag and I think that for new domains it will work out nice. But for my existing domains, it doesn't work yet. I thinks there's something related to .dir-control file. I realize that the first line from its must be the number of files (folders) of a domain. The rest I can't figure out! Is there something related to .dir-control file? If so, can you explain me that file line per line? Or is there another solution to making my old domains work with that flag now? Anyway, thanks a lot!

And always doing > manual editing sucks a lot! vpopmail does directory hashing because some filesystems (ext2/3, UFS without DIR_HASH, etc) will slow to a crawl with large directories (the general rule of thumb is about 1000 files in a directory is the breaking point) You can disable this when building vpopmail by configuring it with the --disable-users-big-dir flag. Is this causing you any problems? If not, then you should leave it how it is for performance reasons. -Jeremy -- Jeremy Kitchen ++ Systems Administrator ++ Inter7 Internet Technologies, Inc.

[vchkpw] vpopmail domain folder
Hello, I've recently converted many users from /etc/passwd to vpopmail accounts. That was very nice, but when I finished I realize that inside my domain.com/ folder there wasn't all my users maildirs folders. So I take a look at vpasswd and realize that had a dir 0/, 1/, 2/, 3/ and 4/ inside the domain.com/ folder and each one had a lot of my users maildir folders. That wasn't nice, so I moved all these maildirs that were inside these 0/,1/,2/,3/ and 4/ folders to ../ so they are now in domain.com/ folder where they should be since the beggining. After that I edited vpasswd and changed manually all those users folders in that file and after much work I got it. Then I added and deleteted an user just to rebuild the vpasswd.cdb. Ok. I was thinking that directories should have being miscreated when I was converting my huge passwd to the cdb(was about 550 users). And I also thought that when I would add new users that wouldn't occur again. But I tried to add a new user and it creates a domain.com/4/ dir and put the maildir folder of that user inside that folder 4/. Is that normal? I don't want that number folder inside my domain! I want always my users maildir in domain.com/ to be better managed. And always doing manual editing sucks a lot! Any help or information will be very very very appreciated!
