Hello,
What software are you planning to put on this server for mail, pop/imap?
The new server Im going to setup needs to be able to handle a huge spool.
ie: 250GB of storage.
It currently has 140,000 users approx popping and recieving mail via smtp.
Mail is spooled to /var/spool/mail/x/y/username in a double level hashing
setup.
You may have better luck with a Maildir sort of setup, you could prolly
set it up as /mail/[a-z]/username/Maildir this would work better and you
can use software such as Exim/Courier Imap/POP to do the trick for you,
this could be a no sweat operation. Less suceptible to corruption as well.
Cheers,
Aly.
