Don't ask me why I did chose 100m, I cannot remember;-) Ok, if one of such
mdbox files will become corrupt, I will loose a lot of mail, but on the other
hand I am running two dovecot servers in parallel (replicator/dsync) and I do
take hourly snapshots (ZFS) of my mail storage file system as well.
Well, if they are stored on ZFS, I guess the chances of corruption are
extremely minimal (much less than for other filesystems)...
Haven't had any file system corruption for a very long time now, even before
switching to ZFS.
I know, me neither (knock on wood), which is why I put the 'extremely'
in there... ;)
I'm curious, is this on FreeBSD?
Yes I migrated my servers to FreeBSD some years ago, and I am using ZFS for
approx. two years now.
Linux? I'm interested in details, as I'd love to be able to use ZFS on my
gentoo linux box without having to enable modules...
Sorry, but I never used ZFS with Linux. But, ZFS and snapshots as such are pretty awesome
and helped me a lot in the past when it comes to "recovering from human
mistakes" ;-)
Heh - that (and the resistance to hidden/silent filesystem corruption)
is the main reason I'm interested in using it. :)
