Yes, I forgot to mention that. Currently I'm using code from CVS as of 2005-02-14. > mailboxes.db is local to each machine, as are deliver.db and tls_sessions.db > The user's seen state and subscriptions, as well as quotaroots can be > shared on the SAN. > So basically /var/imap is local, but /var/imap/user, /var/imap/quota, > /var/spool/imap are on the SAN.

Hm. Polyserve claims their filesystem "exhibits the same behavior as an ext3 file system", but that's marketing... We will see. That's what tests are for :) In any case, I will report here. Is there anything special I should be aware of? Thanks for your help.
