[Dovecot] relocating indexes.

[Rob Shepherd]

Dear Dovecot users,

I'd like to relocate indexes from NFS to local storage.

I plan to replace...

default_mail_env = maildir:~/.maildir

with

mail_location = maildir:~/.maildir:INDEX=/usr/local/var/dovecot/index/%u

However, to minimise disruption, by avoiding dovecot rebuilding indexes 
for many user's large and numerous folders, I'd like to copy the 
existing indexes to the new location.

Here is a list of _my_ indexes (in and under ~/.maildir)

./.Drafts/dovecot-uidlist
./.Drafts/dovecot.index
./.Drafts/dovecot.index.cache
./.Drafts/dovecot.index.log
./.OpenLDAP/dovecot-keywords
./.OpenLDAP/dovecot-uidlist
./.OpenLDAP/dovecot.index
./.OpenLDAP/dovecot.index.cache
./.OpenLDAP/dovecot.index.log
./.OpenLDAP/dovecot.index.log.2
./.Sent/dovecot-keywords
./.Sent/dovecot-uidlist
./.Sent/dovecot.index
./.Sent/dovecot.index.cache
./.Sent/dovecot.index.log
./.Trash/dovecot-keywords
./.Trash/dovecot-uidlist
./.Trash/dovecot.index
./.Trash/dovecot.index.cache
./.Trash/dovecot.index.log
./.mailscanner/dovecot-keywords
./.mailscanner/dovecot-uidlist
./.mailscanner/dovecot.index
./.mailscanner/dovecot.index.cache
./.mailscanner/dovecot.index.log
./.mailscanner/dovecot.index.log.2
./.nagios/dovecot-keywords
./.nagios/dovecot-uidlist
./.nagios/dovecot.index
./.nagios/dovecot.index.cache
./.nagios/dovecot.index.log
./.samba/dovecot-keywords
./.samba/dovecot-uidlist
./.samba/dovecot.index
./.samba/dovecot.index.cache
./.samba/dovecot.index.log
./.samba/dovecot.index.log.2
./.sw-announce/dovecot.index
./.sw-announce/dovecot.index.cache
./.sw-announce/dovecot.index.log
./dovecot-keywords
./dovecot-uidlist
./dovecot.index
./dovecot.index.cache
./dovecot.index.log
./dovecot.index.log.2

Would I be correct in copying these to /usr/local/var/dovecot/index/rob/ 
(_my_ new index loc) whilst preserving the structure of the folders etc.

Thanks

Rob
