Is anybody still using MH mailboxes?
I think that means each mail in its own file? If so YES, because if I lose a file, I lose only 1 email not thousands. Also, progressive back-ups get very large very quickly using everything in one file. I also have in mind that every byte is 8 switches (or is it more with modern file systems?). It only takes 1 switch to fail to loose the file. How many switches in a 1MB file - around 8,096. How many switches on my 700GB data partition? You get the drift. And I have had files simply disappear; several over the last year Seriously, am I a pessimist? Or am I just taking the maxim about 2 kinds of drives - the ones that have failed and the drives that are going to fail - too seriously. -- Keith Bainbridge ke1thozgro...@gmx.com
