Hi listmembers,
I am about to migrate our mailservices to FreeBSD + ZFS. Thus, before entering the sheer endless stage of performance testing, I thought I would ask here kindly for all kinds of information.
My setups are nothing special with few users, however, I would like to have a nice setup, maybe some of you could contribute to this thread. We are using slow spinning disks, but we may consider using ssds in a not-so-distant future
If performance is a concern, why not now?
*) storages: any infos on ZFS options or whether to use mdbox or sdbox, and what configs/options regarding compression etc.
*) backup: what is a best practice regarding backups? - using only the dovecot tools or leveraging the great features of ZFS (or both) with snapshots etc.?
Thanks for all sorts of infos, probably saving me quite some time evaluating different options!
Robert
