currently upas/fs uses one big directory per mailbox. this works fine for mailboxes of reasonable sizes (20k messages). unfortunately, users are not reasonable and 20k just isn't enough.
high-level tasks 1. define a new index format that allows for multiple index files and mdir directories. these must be backwards compatible. 2. teach the delivery programs how to deliver to the extended format. 3. optimize mail scanning so that only the current directory and index need to be updated when new mail arrives. - erik -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Plan 9 Google Summer of Code" group.
