Hi Noel,
I agree with you, I have seen setup with millions of mailboxes with NFS
and Maildir works fine.
I'm using NetApp as storage with NFS v3. What NFS version are you using
for mount share?

Hi Tom,
What did you want to know?
load balancer multi imap, pop3, smtp with dovecot using NFS to EMC
storage backend works exceptionally well.
but we dont use director, thats an unnecessary extra cog in the wheel
thats not needed for a functional system despite what dovecot will try
tell you, redirecting someone to same server is job of a good hardware
load balancer, plenty use NFS backend without director for many many
many years, it scales very well, add or take away servers when you
need, do upgrades by one down at a time, nobody has ever noticed it.
We do it slightly different though, we dont use lmtp, we use dovecots
LDA on the smtp servers accepting/storing mail direct, and yes, we use
maildir.
it might be old skool, where the new kds on hte block want to use
clusterfs, but no, thast asking for trouble, and lots of media horror
stories about mail down fr days at isps around teh world justify
avoiding it, good ol NFS " just works"

I'd be interested in chatting with anyone who has rolled out (or
failed to rollout!) Dovecot in a cluster. Especially if you're using
an object store.
