Suggestions:
1) More spindles is best, so more small disks is better than fewer large
ones
2) RAID-10 is best performance
3) Run bonnie++ on your proposed setups and benchmark performance
using filesize typical for a mail message (16K typical)
4) Read this website before trusting user data to RAI
Hello,
We have a low-end platform of using Core2duo (Xeon) with 4G ram.
The budget is not much enough to afford SAN.
We consider SAS finally, but are still having concerns about mail access speed.
This RAID could be:
1. RAID 1 (OS) + RAID 1 (mail spool)
2. RAID 1 (OS) + RAID 5 (mail spool)
3. RAI
Look at the postfix config (main.cf). The value to look at is
"message_size_limit". Had the same problem long time ago.
Mine is set to "message_size_limit = 51200" Which is email size of 512MB
(folks here use email like ftp .)
Cheers,
Roberto

I need a sanity check here.
I had a single storage partition that I've grown to ~400GB to house
about 270,000 mailboxes. I managed to reduce that number by around
115,000 by purging out accounts no one's logged into, still leaving
quite a mess of accounts. I've been migrating them with some perl
