I hear that often but don't give it much credence. We use ext3 in a Murder with 70K accounts and two backends. We have no performance problem. Actually, the performance is better than I envisionned at first. I don't pretend to have done extensive file system comparison, but I guess if the default fs of your OS is fast *enough*, there is no reasons to go with non-standard filesystem. Actually, from a practical sysadmin point of view, you would be better sticking with well-known and well-tested default that have well-known and well-tested tools (fsck, debugfs, etc). If I where to build a mailsystem with many hundreds of thousands or millions account, that would be another story of course. -- Etienne Goyer Linux Québec Technologies Inc. http://www.LinuxQuebec.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- Home Page: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyruswiki.andrew.cmu.edu List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
