What is the best strategy to add another storage to an existing virtual mail system ? Move some domains to the new storage and create symlinks ? Switch to dovecot hashing ? But in this case what is the easy-east way to migrate ?
Thanks for any suggestions or tips ! Are you using Volume Management (VLM) on the system, or do you have regular partitions mounted? Is there any RAID or other factors to consider . . in fact, a few details about your system might help :)

No LVM and the RAID is done in the SAN appliance. My gut tells me that formatting a single huge 25TB partition is not the best way to go. That's why I consider having two different LUN's on two different SAN's mounted together as two directories. A fsck and a recovery will work faster. The only issue is distributing maildirs. across the two file systems.
