I do have one more idea I'll throw out there. Everything I've got here
is virtual. I only have the one Dovecot/Postfix server running now, and
the impression I get from you all is that that should be adequate for my
load. What would the collective opinion be of simply removing the NFS
server altogether and mounting the virtual disk holding my messages
directly to the dovecot server?
If you're not planning on doing some sort of HA failover or load balancing,
and have the option to make your storage direct-attached instead of NAS, it
might be worth trying. There's not much to be gained from NFS in a
single-node configuration.
I ended up implementing this just now. Still had load issues this
morning and I'm hoping that removing NFS helps me out.
