Swap it. > How do you defrag a highly active mail server with 1000s of users? "Highly active," again, requires metrics so that we can compare with successful configurations. The more active, the more urgent the need to defrag. If it takes downtime for scheduled maintenance, do it anyway--hey, would you rather be rebooting, and getting no help from the list until you defrag? There's no reason to leave out the essential step on easily fragged filesystems. Remember, it'll take less time to defrag the more often you do it. > I did create a new empty spool directory on a newly formatted > partition on a separate drive. ...and now for the mailbox drive. > I take it from the "here we go again" comment that this is a typical > problem for users upgraded. Maybe the product just sucks? It would appear from reports that 7.x is less tolerant of bad NICs than 6.x. It also does have more overhead in general, so is more sensitive to fragmentation, storage load balancing, et al. You would need to already have problems for 7.x to point up these areas. -Sandy To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/
