Hi,
I want to upgrade to version 2 but I would like to solve a long
standing problem with 'flat' directory structure ie
we have /var/spool/vmail/mydomain.com/u...@mydomain.com and I want a
new server with version 2 to have
hashed directory structure like /var/spool/vmail/mydomain.com/u/s/user
I was wondering it f there is some better solution then dir hashing or
a way to hash a dir other then first two letters.
Also any suggestion how to perform this migration from old to new
server with hashing on the fly?
My thought would be that unless you have millions of users, such a
rename process will take only seconds to minutes? Why not just take the
server down for a couple of minutes to do the rename process?
If you wanted to be really clever, you could do it live using symlinks
to move the dirs, then update the dovecot config?
