Hello Erik,
It is turned on...
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# tune2fs -l /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 | grep features
Filesystem features: has_journal ext_attr resize_inode dir_index
filetype needs_recovery sparse_super large_file
I'll look for the meaning of these settings. Do you see any problems
with them (maybe a non desireable feature turned on)?
Thank you!

As a quick workaround you could make a partition level backup (like
partimage) .
If you could not expose your server to a downtime you could consider
using lvm shapshot backup .
I don't know if this problem coul be also caused by the
"--disable-big-user-dir" compile option with
wich the vpopmail-toaster is compiled .
From the readme of vpopmail:
---------- START --------------------
Virtual domain user directory structure
Vpopmail uses an adaptive directory structure based on a state file
".dir-control" which is automatically managed by the core vpopmail api
functions "vadduser" and "vdeluser". For sites with 100 users or less,
all user directories are stored in the virtual domain directory. For
sites that go above 100 users the adaptive directory structure goes into
effect. The basic idea is to break up the user Maildir directories across
multple directories and sub directories so that there are never more than
100 user directories in a single directory.
The default directory setup allows for 62 directories in 3 levels and
100 user directories per directory. The total number of user directories
is equal to 100 + (62 * 100) + (62 * 62 * 100) + (62 * 62 * 62 * 100) = over
24 million directories. This should be more than sufficent for any site
and probably goes beyond the technology of directory structures.
If you are going to be storing large numbers of user directories, make
sure you set your file system to have a higher than normal percentage
of inodes.
Vpopmail will automatically create these directories and sub directories
as needed and populate each directory with up to 100 user accounts. As
soon as a directory reaches 100 users it will create the next directory
or sub directory and store the new users directory there.
Look in the source code release directory contrib/ for a contributed
directory reorganization program .
------ STOP ----------------------
I don't know (the vpopmail docs is'nt very clear about this ) if the
--disable-users-big-dir effectively disable the above
dir structure .
Maybe with this dir structure turned on is much more simplier for rsync to
build a list of file , ad so to speed up all the backup process .
It seems to exists a script that can be re-arrange your user base dir to
let it
compliant with the directory structure .
Is your domain dirs splitted as descrive above , or is in the canonical
form /home/vpopmail/domains/$domain/$user ???
Home it helps .
