concerning dovecot settings for high volume server

[Alessio Cecchi]

Hi Urban,

I'm interesting in your hardware configuration, in percent how much is 
the I/O on indexes volume and how in maildata volume?

Without index on SSD you will be able to run 28k users on RAID10 
(SATA/SAS) only?

I'm evaluating if store indexes, on my configuration, on SSD for 
improving performance.

Thanks
