Hi.
I'm running out of space for my postfix's spool directory and I'm planning
to create a new 30GB partition and mount it over the current spool dir
(/var/spool/postfix).
How do I re-generate the queue after mounting the new partition and having
an emtpy /var/spool/postfix/ ?
In squid, as an example, exists "squid -Z" which recreates postfix's queue.
There is something similar in postfix? Maybe I should check CentOS
postfix's post-install scripts instead (/etc/postfix/post-install)?
Another option would be (after stopping postfix), move the old queue
contents to the new queue, but I'm not sure if that would be OK (in qmail,
it couldn't be done because each message in the queue depends on the fs
i-node).
Thanks.
