Thanks, I have not found any info about this feature in the docs. (maybee missed it, will check again) I'm running vpopmail v4.9 and want to enable this feature when I upgrade to v5.2.1. Will this be activated and used even if there is 10k+ domains already in /home/vpopmail/domains and/or is there any tool to convert the existing domains to "big site setup"? In the contrib/ directory there is a vreorg.c but is not compileable due to the missing safestring.h in the distribution. -- .Fredrik Steen - http://www.stone.nu/ -
RE: [vchkpw] Big site setup.
Actually the big site setup is the mysql portion. It changes the table structure for sites that have large amounts of users, not large amounts of sites. It should start putting the sites into seperate inode style directories. So after the first 200 or so domains it should create a 0 directory then stick the next 200 or so, then create a 1 directory and do the same. That way there is not more than so many domains per directory. This is done because of the Linux FS starts to bottleneck when a certain directory/file tree get's to large. --- Brad Dameron Network Account Executive TSCNet Inc. www.tscnet.com Silverdale, WA. 1-888-8TSCNET > -Original Message- > From: Fredrik Steen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, September 24, 2002 4:09 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [vchkpw] Big site setup. > > > * Jesus J.

The system is running LVS (Linux Virtual Server) with shared /home/vpopmail/domains. So the whole system is loadbalanced. But the problem is the /home/vpopmail/domains directory there is _alot_ of domain dirs there and I thougt the "big site" setup would solve this. I have heard of this setup but not seen mush of it discussed. Inter7 states on URL: http://www.inter7.com/vpopmail/features.html "Support for 1 to 23 million virtual email domains using a "grow as it goes" balenced directory tree." How do I activate this feature and how do I convert my current directory tree to use this feature? /fs
Re: [vchkpw] Big site setup.
More than 65000 domains??? Are you shure a solution using different mail servers is not better?? I can't imagine a reason to force so many domains to reside in the same mail server, while know a lot that make it better to distribute so many domains over some different boxes... - Original Message - From: "Fredrik Steen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, September 24, 2002 10:37 AM Subject: [vchkpw] Big site setup. > Fellow sysadmins, > > I'm trying to convert our present vpopmail setup to handle more than 65k > domains.
