2013-07-27 Thread Bahti

thank you Peter for your quick response.

Here some more information:

I plan on ubuntu server only as pure eMailServer with sogo.
No other services such as file sharing, no ownCloud etc.
The user will receive 4GB per space.

I install on a esxi and give the VM 8GB Ram and 6core CPU.

how is your recommendation in this case?

35 users with 4GB space is 140GB, but you need to calculate the deleted 
items folder and other files on /var partition.

I Think 160GB will enough.
If you will use quota under IMAP, then one partition need to /var.
If you wont use quota, then 5-10GB for /var enough, and give more than 
150GB to /var/mail - separated partition.

I think you wont need too much resource for 35 user! Two cores with 2GB 
RAM is enough.

With IMAP quota:

/  - 4GB (sda1)
/var - 160GB (sdb1)
swap- 3GB (sdc1)

Without IMAP quota
/- 4GB
/var- 5GB
/var/mail - 155GB
swap   - 3GB

The swap sizes calculated with 2GB of RAM.
If you plan to resize partitions (if something happen and it needs) - I 
offer you the XFS filesystem instead if ext4.
And attention: keep your eyes on ESX ballooning, if you use lot of 
ram/VM! ESX can steal unused ram from any VM, and if the vm is get more, 
it will be stucked easily for some seconds. If you can, use resource 
reservation on ESX.
