Hello Simone,
as mailfiles tend to be rather small, your data space (/vicep*)
could not be used more than for a small part, as the metadata storage
(/dev/sda6) will be filled up a lot sooner.
How much big should be the metadata area for menage all that partition ? or i need to do various partitions of metadata ?
I did that division because over all the FAQ ppls say to haven't more then 8GB for vicepa or vicepb etc..
Isent' that correct ?
You need to set up log/metadata per server process and you will need
multiple server processes. Swap space has to be able to contain all
metadata pieces together, too.
How can i do that clearly ?

You mean probably /vicep* not /vice?
Yes .. i wrote bad..
Yes, it would be better to keep them separately from rvm, but it is
unclear for me how much you would win.
Ok.. i can keep an IDE ATA133 drive for menage all that things...
Best regards,
