I don't run an environment with 40000 users Anyway, do you really want each
mail user to have their own home directory?.

If you like :)
I'm talking about LVM.
64 ide partitions == 64 LVM physical volumes.
You build one dirty great volume group out of that, and then
create as many logical volumes as you want.
A volume group can be made out of physical volumes on multiple disks,
so there's
no limit to the size of a volume group. (There's probably some
internal kernel data structure that is finite, I haven't looked at the
code).
