Would it be possible to get the patches into the source soon? I would be very happy to maybe have a commandline sw --with-linux or something for the patches.I tried to extract some of the patches from different places and put them into my RPMs. Unfortunately I'm not sure I didn't miss one.
Consider using the WOLK (wolk.sf.net) kernelpatches. They got excelent support for xfs as well as host of other things (for example grsecurity)I didn't have any db related problem on RedHat with db3 and db4. Of course, the RPMs are using skiplist for mailboxes.db per default, as Rob suggested.
I can also suggest XFS as the FS of choice. The only problem is that it is not so well supported by Linux distributions.

2. db3 or db4? The previous server we have has some of the famous
locker problems and other db4 problems (we believe). Rob, maybe you can
bless the "official" db version to use. I am fine using db4, provided
that people are successfully using it in production.
Well, in my experience, db4 gives you nothing over (a very well patched and stabilized) db3.2. So, I will continue to ship cyrus linked against Debian's db3.2 for a while more. So far, I have had exactly zero problems with db 3.2.9 in Debian...
