dovecot - Feb 2009 - Adding new storage

Hello,
	
	I am about to add more storage to the mail server and would like to  
know if it is as simple as it sounds..? I have:
dovecot.conf
mail_location: maildir:~/Maildir/

and
/etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf with:
user_attrs = sAMAccountName=mail=maildir:/home/vmail/%Ud/%Ln/Maildir/

So all the mail gets stored at /home/vmail/%Ud/%Ln/Maildir/  so if i  
add a new volume to the VM lets say /dev/disk3 and mount it to /srv/ 
vmail and then change the user_attrs = sAMAccountName=mail=maildir:/ 
home/vmail/%Ud/%Ln/Maildir/ to user_attrs =  
sAMAccountName=mail=maildir:/srv/vmail/%Ud/%Ln/Maildir/ would it work  
with no problem..? I would also need to move all the mailboxes  
already in the old location...

I just want to make sure before i do anything..

Thanks

Yep, make sure, too, that /srv and /srv/vmail have at least x-permission 
for the UIDs you store/access the mails with.

Yep. Keep the permissions with the copy.

For convenience, I'd keep a symlink /home/vmail pointing to /srv/vmail .

Bye,
