and I want to switch to
mail_location = mdbox:/var/vmail/%-1.1u/%u/mdbox:INDEX=/var/indexes/%-1.1u/%u/
But I cannot figure out a pair of things:
- do the switch trigger the rebuilding of the index files?
- can I get rid of all the old index files?
I'm by no means an expert, but with that many users I think if you did this in one shot (all indexes being rebuilt simultaneously as users logged in) your system would slow to a crawl...
I would first rsync the existing indexes over live, then stop dovecot, do another quick rsync of the indexes, then make the change and restart dovecot...
That will minimize the impact (rebuilding of indexes)...
Good hint! Thank you.
What about the index grow factor? Do some of you folks have any idea about that (no ftp squat)?
