I am a little confused over the location of configdirectory, some of its contents (like the DB environment, the socket und the proc directorys) should be kept per node (I believe), while others (as quota files) should be shared between nodes. What about the replicated mailboxes.db? What am I missing?
I'm assuming that your talking about the current code in 2.3 which uses MUPDATE to replicate mailboxes.db across multiple backends sharing the same spool.
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.
Are symlinks "the right way" to do that or did I miss something in imapd.conf.5?
symlinks are fine.
Note that the university that I wrote the code for has abandoned it because of problems with Sun's SAN filesystem.
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?
Not that comes to mind at the moment. Let me know if you have questions.
