I would strongly suggest using mdbox instead. AFAIK clusterfs' aren't I'd recommend mdbox as well, with a healthy rotation size. The larger files won't increase IMAP performance substantially but they can make backup significantly quicker.
I'm considering migrating to mdbox... wondering what you consider 'healthy' rotation size.
I generally try to avoid changing defaults whenever possible, so, do you consider the default size of 2MB too small?
I guess though that it depends on usage. Since we get a decent number of large attachments, maybe that is a good reason to bump it up?
It's probably better to err large than to err small. Analyze your current maildir directories and make a distribution graph of file sizes. That should give you a good idea of what your rotation size should be.
