Re: RaiserFS via NFS
I second that motion !
Just make sure that you are dumping only deliverd mail to an NFS mount. Keep
the spools local. NFS + file locking don't mix.
I chose ext3 for it's reliablity over ReiserFS. But it is GREAT having a
small farm of M$ filtering servers (spam / virii) on the front end.
