How do I simulate email traffic for a large organization? For the record, I have seen the 'large number of small files' problems with ext2/ext3, but not with my mail folders. UW-IMAP fell over with large files a *lot* sooner than Cyrus-IMAPD with lots of files in one directory. I haven't seen a problem yet (I think my largest folder is around 9000 messages -- my GNHLUG folder, of course). With UW-IMAP, it took a looong time to do basic operations on my GNHLUG folder. It's much zippier with Cyrus' one message per file approach. -- -Paul Iadonisi Senior Systems Administrator Red Hat Certified Engineer / Local Linux Lobbyist Ever see a penguin fly? -- Try Linux.
