[Dovecot] Re: Recommended FS for Dovecot Maildir
We're probably right at your 10000 user threshold, but we're an ISP
so we get a LOT of mail traffic. Our mail system consists of dual
exim servers processing incoming mail, writing to maildirs on a home-
built NFS system. The home-built system is a dual-xeon machine with
lots of SATA disks in a RAID5. We then have two client-facing
machines running dovecot and squirrelmail.
These are all SuperMicro servers running RedHat ES 4. They all use
SATA disks. We are using EXT3 for the RAID5 filesystem, and I have
had no performance issues to speak of. I had considered Reiser or
xfs, but as I have limited experience with either filesystem I didn't
feel comfortable using them in production.
