[Dovecot] Adding new storage
Hello,
I am about to add more storage to the mail server and would like to know if it is as simple as it sounds..? I have: dovecot.conf mail_location: maildir:~/Maildir/
and /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf with: user_attrs = sAMAccountName=mail=maildir:/home/vmail/%Ud/%Ln/Maildir/
So all the mail gets stored at /home/vmail/%Ud/%Ln/Maildir/ so if i
add a new volume to the VM lets say /dev/disk3 and mount it to /srv/
vmail and then change the user_attrs = sAMAccountName=mail=maildir:/
home/vmail/%Ud/%Ln/Maildir/ to user_attrs =
sAMAccountName=mail=maildir:/srv/vmail/%Ud/%Ln/Maildir/ would it work
with no problem..? I would also need to move all the mailboxes
already in the old location...
I just want to make sure before i do anything..
Thanks

Yep, make sure, too, that /srv and /srv/vmail have at least x-permission for the UIDs you store/access the mails with.

Yep. Keep the permissions with the copy.
For convenience, I'd keep a symlink /home/vmail pointing to /srv/vmail .
Bye,
