[Dovecot] mailbox size limit

[Bazy]

Hi guys,

I was wondering... my Inbox is 1.3GB large, my mailbox size limit is 6GB
(6442450941). Other users have 500+ MB in their Inbox.

I have about 27GB of mail. I'm running dovecot 1.0.7 now under Fedora 7
with postfix. I have no trouble at all, everything is working perfect.

I use ext3 as my file system, and I store mail in maildir format.

Will I have any inode, file system, issues?
Is anyone storing more then 27GB in maildir format on only one ext3
partition?



Here is my dovecot -n output:
