[Ocfs2-users] [IMPORTANT] OCFS for maildir with 7000 users.

[Sérgio Surkamp]

Hi,

I recommend you to disable usrquota, grpquota and xattr features if you
don't need them and use noatime and localflocks mount options, as
Maildir was designed to be a locking free directory structure.

Also avoid using LVM (or CLVM) as it is not officially supported/tested.
Use your storage backend volume management instead.

Our largest mail cluster is currently storing 50k+ mailboxes in
Maildir+ (courier-mta extensions) format.

Regards,
Sérgio
