Linked is a little quicker than copied, and uses a lot less HD space (which is largely why it's quicker - much less copying to do).
The new union filesystem is the quickest by far, and uses an absolute minimum amount of HD space. The most recent version of qmailtoaster-plus contains the union filesystem. I'm not sure why you wouldn't be prompted to use it. You might want to get rid of your old sandbox first: # rm -rf /opt/qtp-sandbox (if it's in the standard place) It does take a couple minutes to build the unionfs kernel module, but it's far less time than building even a linked sandbox. Once the unionfs module is built for a given kernel, the sandbox is created as fast as it can mount a filesystem (in the blink of an eye). You won't have to create /var/spool/authdaemon if you use unionfs. You will have to create it though for copied or linked sandbox (until we fix the script). Let us know how you make out.
