Our mail store is on a LeftHand SAN, which we bought this summer. The
speed is pretty good, even on just a GigE network, and it's certainly
a helluva lot cheaper than FC stuff. Downsides include the lack of an
integrated fencing device for failover (most FC switches are fencing
devices), and the
Hello,
We worked with this problem for a bit ourselves. We had a rather
unique situation however. We had to allow an IMAP client (read this
as a person, not MUA) to make a POP connection at login. This was
for historical reasons. ( Got a new message count. And yes, we knew
it was inaccurate for

One of the major problems you'd run into is /var/lib/imap, the config
directory. It contains, among other things, a Berkeley DB of
information about the mail store. GFS, Lustre, and other cluster
filesystems do file-level locking; in order to properly read and write
to the BDB backend,

NFS is a file sharing protocol that doesn't provide full locking
semantics the way block devices do.

Debian compiles master as cyrmaster, as long as other files I don't know, such
as cyradmin possibly.
So when you want to upgrade your debian box with a new cyrus imap version you
must force the prefix or change your /etc/init.d/cyrus21 script, because if
not, the old cyrmaster is called and not

Like in the /usr/share/doc/cyrus21-* documents Debian ships for a few years
now?

Okay, okay, I just can't *NOT* say something here :)
First, I disagree with all the statements below. Cyrus CAN run in an
Active/Active mode, you CAN have multiple servers reading and writing to
the same files, and clustering IS a good way to achieve HA/DR/BC in a
Cyrus environment. Why do I sa
I used cyradm a long time ago to set up two mailboxes, and now I need to

supports TLS with cyradm. But I am not ready to upgrade. I just want

Kinda surprising, but it DOES have something to do with Cyrus. Caspur
