Package: courier Severity: wishlist Hello Maintainer,
please forward this to the courier-upstream
In the config file /etc/courier/courierd I use
ARCHIVEDIR=/var/lib/courier/archive
where /var/lib/courier is a seperated 300 GByte SAS Disk in 3Com Raid-1.
Unfortnately I get per day more then 2 million messages on this server,
which mean, courier save more then 2 million files per directory...
Even "xargs" can not more handel this!
So I like to see the Option ARCHIVEDIR interpreted as date syntax like
ARCHIVEDIR=/var/lib/courier/archive/%Y-%M-%D_%H
for example, which will solve many problems, because runing a seperated
script to move the files fo archivedirs in this format is wast of
resources because I have to run this script all 5 minutes and it eats
up to 50% CPU resources (Quad Xeon with 4 GByte of memory) while moving
even on the same partition which is twice annoying.
WHY can "mv" not do the same as courier does?
Modifying the FS table to point to another directory instead of hard-
moving files and consuming disk IO. This is WHY ARCHIVEDIR has to be on
the same partition/volume as the courier spool directories.
Thanks, Greetings and nice Day/Evening
