been watching reiser4 for a while now with the ultimate goal of getting my
Maildirs on it, but not until at least a few distributions start using it

On the topic of Maildir performance, has anyone compared Courier's IMAP
server on RHEL 4 to other systems? RHEL 4 includes an ext3 fs that
supports hashed directories, pre-allocated extends, and some other
features that seem like they'd benefit Maildir applications immensly,
especially on very large folders.
well i've only got about 25k accounts (but considering it was only ~14k
last year i'm trying to plan for the best), but right now i serve all
mailboxes and personal webspace via NFS from an ext3 partition on a
fibre channel SAN. I've had no issues as of yet (and a few of the
mailboxes, like mine push a gig), although courier seems to choke on my
mailbox on occasion, but i'm also on an older version.
and if anyone is interested ... i'm getting ready to try a basic LVS
cluster (redhat's cluster with 2 load balancers on top of 4 mail servers
that all directly access a san via fibre channel) with gfs as the file
system. ohh and i do realize its probably a bit over kill, but i'm
trying to plan for high availability.
*crosses fingers* i'll try to remember to tell how it fares, if anyone
is curious and i havent said anything feel free to yell at me, project
should be done over the next month or so.
