Hey guys, Wondering if anyone out there has any input on running Dovecot with SAN storage. Its coming to the time where we need to run load balanced servers, and past experiences steer us away from a NAS. Tips / pitfalls ?
It probably depends more on the filesystem you're going to pave over your SAN. I had a test setup with three nodes over GFS (which from dovecot's POV is simply a local POSIX compliant fs) for a couple of weeks and it worked fine. But for other reasons it never went into production, it was only stressed under lab conditions.
