hi

i have client requiring around 3 terrabytes of space for his email

the max size of my drive available at the data center is 2 terrabytes

i can have 2 such drives connected to the server

now the question is that how do i split the mailbox locations -- is this
advisable ?

ie

/home/vpopmail/domains/domainname.com/user1>  links to drive1

/home/vpopmail/domains/domainname.com/user2>  links to drive2


is symlink advisable ?

or should i use mount bind in the rc.local file to have specific path ?

thanks

Wow, that's a bit dicey. You could use raid-0 or LVM, but the more drives you add, the sooner you'll have a failure.

I don't do anything w/out mirrored drives any more. Personally, I would set up a raid-10 array with 4 drives, mirrored and striped.

+1 on this.
I hate hard disk failure, although you have backup and you can re-install, reconfigure, restore all data back
but that just waste of time. preventive is better than corrective
