I will use native ZFS encryption soon. I see no performance issues in test. Don't get hung up on ZFS tuning, mostly ZFS just works.
yes I know, I love working with it, I have used it for > 10 years now, but it happened that none of my mailserver projects used ZFS. Regarding storage I tend to use sdbox, from what I have read it seems to be the better option when using a COW filesystem compared to mdbox. One more question is: compression at file system level or in dovecot storage? The reason I am not sure to switch to ssds is that most servers are for non-profit organisations, sports clubs etc. - they also need some storage for pictures, their budget is quite low (so performance testing would only be done out of my interest), and if spinning rust with optimized settings suffices why not. Thanks for your input so far, hope more will come ;-)
