Could you share how you have configured Dovecot in order to

I have configured nothing on dovecot's side. We have a lot of EMC gear
providing most of the features, maildirs in a

Extra question, what is the better : iSCSI SATA backend or NFS share ?
NFS share is more convenient to have a failover server.
Everyone wants to use nfs for mailstorage, because it is convenient,
but nfs is the wrong storage model for mail.
NFS shines on big files but metadata performance is

But faster is not always the way to measure things.
In this topic, I think that raw disk access speed is not a critical
value; I've tested our setup with maildir on NFS and performance is
close enough to local disks. Given this, I prefer the extra features
our NAS/SAN setup gives us, like

I've spent a week looking at the likes of PVFS, GFS, Lustre and a whole
host of different systems, including pNFS (NFS 4.1)
At the risk of diverting the thread away from the SATA backend, is there
any recommendation for a fault tolerant file service.
The generally don't see any bugs/issues is the part I'm worried about
(generally isn't comforting).
I was covering my on that one. Sods law dictates as soon as I say
'never' we'll discover an issue.
If you use a more traditional filesystem like ext2/ext3/ufs/etc then yes.

It should be a future option, but index management will be more tricky
as you stated.
If you want to do any kind of clustering/failover, even in the future,
then I would go with iSCSI/SAN of some sort instead of NFS... Just my $0.02.
