#1 maildir stores each message in a separate file. I think I need to
dedicate a separate disk slice for maildirs and decrease block size
on it. How big should the blocksize be?
i have everything (/) on single partition on most of my servers,
including those having lots of mail.

I don't think that is clever. sysinstall creates different partitions for /
but i do. sysinstall and most people and manuals just copy traditions.
it's nonsense.
Except when my users search

You can treat UFS as ext2/3 with dir_index enabled by default (not
exactly but that's what dirhash translates to in practice).
UFS by default creates 2k fragments (sub-blocks), so in practice any
tuning in this direction won't do much.
More drives=better in this case. Don't forget to tune

partition. e.g., filesystem corruption in a home directory keeping
the root from being able to boot, or filling up a mail directory
keeping people from logging in.
today we have live CDs.

I need to install a new server. Primarily it will run apache + PHP +
PostgreSQL. Its main task is to serve several websites, and provide web
based admin interface for OLTP. The server will have 2xSAS disks in RAID
1 for the base system and 10xSATA2 disks in RAID 1+0 for the rest. The
SAS pair
dir goes to SATA.
The secondary task for this server is to be an IMAP and mail server. We will
be using dovecot, and shared maildir folders with ten thousands of messages.
I'm not sure where to put the maildir folders, and what options to use for
unless you have tens of thousands of mail
