All, Pardon me if this question has already been answered (I couldn't find anything) but does Cyrus work over a Samba mount? I was assuming that it did and, if so, this redundancy question seems like it could be solved without much problem.
My solution would be: Take multiple boxes running Cyrus and put the mail store on a samba mounted drive that is connected to a NAS, SAN, or other redundant storage array. I assumed that one problem might be the routines that run to keep the db in sync or other administrative routines but those could be handled with scripting. In this type of setup, the redundancy/failover could be handled by a standard load balancer. Am I missing something or is there a problem with Samba for this kind of thing? Thanks for the answer. - Drew --- Cyrus Home Page: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyruswiki.andrew.cmu.edu List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
