Hello I'm planning for a new Cyrus install, for which I'll use a multiple partitioning scheme. The idea so far is to have a partion for / and /var/lib/imap (call it the metadata partition), and multiple partitions for the spool data. The idea is to improve I/O by having the /var/lib/imap data on a separate partition.
However, I've just read that Cyrus 2.3.x is able to store the spool metadata on diffent partitions. Would it be an advantage to use that feature too, storing these metadata on the metadata partition, together with the /var/lib/imap stuff, or would I only see an improvement if the spool metadata is on yet another partition? Any other advice on partitioning strategies is welcome.
