In a setup like mine where INDEXES and CONTROL point to different places for instance. Is there something wrong with such a solution ?
But aren't both of them in local disk then?
No. At the moment, the Maildirs and the control files are on NFS, indexes are on local disk. That's ok since I've got only one server for now.
Since I plan to split dovecot and postfix on 2 different servers but want to be able to use anyone of them back to run both postfix and dovecot if one of them crash, I plan to put indexes and control files on NFS.
OK. It just sounded like you were thinking about putting index files to NFS and control files to local disk. So there's really no normal situation where only control files could get lost.
