Dear Hackers, First of all thank you for your time and attention. I am in the position to implement a large-scale mail server and I will never go for anything else but FreeBSD (fixation?). It should be able to handle graceously 4000 e-mail accounts where a minimum of 50 Mb/mailbox would be a requirement. In the begining, it is desirable that users could use as much free space as available, so this implies some gigabytes/mailbox. I don't know if the mbox format can handle this, and I know Maildir cannot handle this on UFS2 standard install, no matter of soft-updates. (because it exhaustes the free nodes) So I currently have no solution for this stuff. I was wondering what is the status of Journaling File Systems on FreeBSD? Any which is usable and mature, with write access? XFS would fit amazingly well with Maildir, but.. I doubt it's anything else but readonly. So any suggestion would really help a lot. Thank's in advance. Yours Sincerely, -- Alin-Adrian Anton GPG keyID 0x183087BA (B129 E8F4 7B34 15A9 0785 2F7C 5823 ABA0 1830 87BA) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 0x183087BA "It is dangerous to be right when the government is wrong." - Voltaire
