All benchmarks I know of don't show that XFS actually performs faster than a modern ext3. Actually, with many concurrent reads and writes, ext3 seem to perform better, but only according to benchmarks. I cannot tell from an own installation. A switch from ext3 to XFS would be a big step for us, because we have to take care for about 13,000 mailboxes. So I want to be really sure if it is the right step. XFS may be faster _until_ it craps out. I have had two (not one) instances of a '.' directory entry being removed from a particular directory and fsck.xfs not being able to repair it caused the need for reinstallation. Doing anything in the directory caused the FS to be unmounted due to detecting an inconsistency in the FS. This happened to my /var partition on both occasions. Granted, it happened on a laptop during a suspend resume both times, but it does not instill confidence that it is not robust enough to stand up to this, not to mention unexpected power offs and the like. Also, the XFS developers are no longer paid by SGI to do XFS from what I understand, so that's another strike.

Only to have it totally disappear, so you're not SURE what you deleted? I'd much rather have closer control over what my mail program is doing... My email clients put deleted messages into a trash bin. I can go there to retrieve messages. The fact of the matter is that most of the time someone deletes a message, they mean to do it. I believe that having an undo in case someone deletes the message accidentally is important. I just think the way that feature is implemented in Outlook for IMAP cripples the common use case where someone means to delete a message. Outlook does a very sane thing with POP mail. It moves the message to the trash folder. It does something similar when using an Exchange server. The only time that it exhibits the weird behavior is when interacting with an IMAP server. Outlook has many other problems also. Think about this one. If you only have an IMAP email account, you would probably want to show the inbox for that IMAP account by default. The only way to change the default folder for Outlook is to start editing registry keys. Why would something like that not be configurable within the program? I personally think that Outlook does what it can to make its users depend on Exchange since IMAP provides nearly all of the mail related benefits of using Exchange from the client perspective. When using Exchange, for instance, your mail magically pops up in the main inbox. It would be nice to be able to use IMAP in a mode like that. Maybe one should be able to tell Outlook that the IMAP is the only account and have it treated as such. Of course, to be fair, all mail clients have their issues. For one example, Mail.app, the Mac OS X client, removes all messages in your inbox associated with a particular POP account when you delete the account. This doesn't make sense since the message are downloaded and more than likely erased from the server. wt -- Warren Turkal, Research Associate III/Systems Administrator Colorado State University, Dept. of Atmospheric Science Cyrus Home Page: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyruswiki.andrew.cmu.edu List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html

I know this is a perennial question, but I wanted to see if the following strategy would work for a hot backup for Cyrus. 1. SIGSTOP all process with the pgrp of cyrmaster 2. ctl_cyrusdb -c - optionally ctl_mboxlist -d here 3. create lvm ro snapshot 4.

If it does, then SIGSTOPping and ctl_cyrusdb -c should cause it to be as quiesced as possible. Creating the snapshot and SIGCONTing the processes should happen fast enough that TCP connections shouldn't time out. As an aside, does an lvm2 snapshot have a maximum size.
