Hello
When creating an OCFS2 filesystem, one can specify a "filesystem type"
option:
-T filesystem-type
Specify how the filesystem is going to be used, so that
mkfs.ocfs2 can chose optimal filesystem parameters for that use.
The supported filesystem types are:
mail Appropriate for file systems which will have many
meta data updates. Creates a larger journal.
datafiles
Appropriate for file systems which will host a rela‐
tively small number of very large files. A small
journal is selected. Cluster size will be at least
128K.
Considering I'm using a separate partition for the dovecot indices, and
that I'm using mdbox, would it be more appropriate to use 'datafiles'
for the mail location partition and 'mail' just for the indices? Or
would 'mail' be appropriate for both even with the larger files created
by mdbox?
Thanks,
Andre
