Dear, I am reaching out regarding the storage documentation for Cyrus IMAP (https://www.cyrusimap.org/3.12/imap/concepts/deployment/storage.html), specifically the note stating that "the use of NFS is considered harmful."
I have two questions regarding this restriction: 1. Does this recommendation apply to high-performance enterprise storage systems (such as NetApp or Hitachi) operating in an active/passive architecture with a mail proxy directing requests to a single Cyrus server to prevent concurrent mailbox access? 2. Does the restriction apply to all data types, or specifically to metadata (e.g., headers and indexes)? Would it be supported to store metadata on local disks while hosting email bodies and attachments on a NAS via NFS? Thank you for your time and assistance. Sincerely, Seif Khalifa ------------------------------------------ Cyrus: Info Permalink: https://cyrus.topicbox.com/groups/info/Tcf711fc6f0ce8498-M5e82c627fba78f8ace22ee7d Delivery options: https://cyrus.topicbox.com/groups/info/subscription
