I'm using native ZFS (http://zfsonlinux.org) on production here (15k+ users, over 2TB of mail data) with little issues. Dedup and compression disabled, mind that. Dedup especially is a major source of trouble, I wouldn't recommend it for production just yet. Cheers, fbscarel On Tue, Nov 1, 2011

Quick question about the usage of DRBD: I'm thinking of a setup on my organization here (15k+ users, 4TB of email data), but I'm holding back on the clusterization due to the high volume of data. Using DRBD would implicate mirroring those 4TB of data across all cluster nodes? If yes, I might go wi

Alex, I've not personally done it (so just speculating here, bear with me) but you can customize Fail2Ban's actions if needed. So, if you can match the attemps through some regex (and since you're seeing them in the logs, that should be quite possible), then you can edit one of the 'actions' to dro

I was not aware of that... I went with FUSE to test the deduplication feature of ZFS. I'll check out this link you've provided, many thanks Dave. :) On Fri, Aug 19, 2011 at 15:48, Dave McGuire wrote: > On 08/19/2011 02:45 PM, Felipe Scarel wrote: > >> I'm testing out

I'm testing out ZFS-fuse on my new install (talked about it on the other thread), no issues so far. The builtin deduplication and compression sure do help a lot, roughly 30% less storage space required so far. They don't advertise it as exactly "production" quality, but I'm willing to try it out,

Hello all, I'm setting up a Dovecot environment here, version 1.2.15 on Debian 6.0.2 "squeeze". This is actually a complete revamp of the previous setup we have in-place here, built from the ground up with updated versions of all involved software. The operators have told me that they use some sc
