moving /var/vmail/vmail1 Maildir tree to another partition?

[Urban Loesch]

Hi,

not testet but for a fast solution I think this should work:

- stop dovecot/postfix
- mv "/var/vmail" to the "/newspace/".
- create a symlink which points from "/var/vmail" to "/newspace/vmail".
- start dovecot/postfix

Regards
Urban
