Thank you Dave !
I will use 'flat' files then.
a last question : do you use flat for all cyrus files or just for
mailboxes.db ?
For us, flat is where it's at. We're using flat for everything.
I should probably give you more information to base your decision on,
though.
Our last setup was running cyrus 1.5.14. We were using flat there, and
as I recall there wasn't a choice at the time. That was running on a
single Sun Ultra-Enterprise 4500. /var/imap was a regular Solaris ufs
filesystem, and the amount of I/O to /var/imap was so severe that we
ended up purchasing a solid state disk device to be able to cope.
Our new setup is cyrus 2.1.17 running on a 4-node active-active Veritas
cluster. /var/imap is now a Veritas cluster filesystem that resides on
a SAN. We're not seeing any performance issues with our new setup.
Thanks,
Dave
