Hello...

Im considering moving my index-files to a RAID1. How big do these files get? What should I plan for?

Thanks, Tobias

since 1 july 2007 i store all mails to this list in 1 folder (Maildir-format)

the size of this (and the indexes) is: 31M cur 80K dovecot.index 6.8M dovecot.index.cache 44K dovecot.index.log 136K dovecot.index.log.2 4.0K dovecot-keywords 164K dovecot-uidlist 4.0K new 4.0K tmp

so, on average maybe 20%-30% of the size of your messages ?
