...up/$prevday Then I rsync from the source to /Current So shouldn't all my previous days have hard links back to the original /backup directory? Sometimes the /backup directory will end up holding only around 200mb of data, and one of the date directories will end up holding the bulk of the 37GB, should this happen? Shouldn't /Current always have the actual copy (37Gb)? Here is the results of du from the last two days. The first day it seems normal because there was about 1.4Gb of changes, but on the second day 4-8-2004 now has changed to 9.1Gb and Current is only 29Gb?? Strange. Doe...

...xperiences? Specifically, are there any limitations (file descriptors, other?) that can impact performance I should be aware of? How does dovecot on the Mac deal with >500GB maildirs? Is there a recommended tool for loading and testing the server? Postal? I have 20 IMAP users, with a total of ~37GB of mail currently. Thanks for any help and insight. -Terry Terry Barnum digital OutPost San Diego, CA http://www.dop.com 800/464-6434

I have a mail server running Debian 6.0 with Courier IMAP to store project related mail. Currently the maildir of the archive (one user) contains about 37GB of data. Our staff is acessing the archive via Outlook 2007 where they drag their Exchange inbox or sent files to it. The problem with courier is that is sometimes mixes up headers with message bodies, so I wanted to migrate to dovecot. I tried this on my proxy running Debian 7.0 with some test...

...o the same using cp -r from the Linux box, it takes roughly 2 seconds. I checked top and vmstat and neither seemed to show anything unusual - in fact, Samba had pretty negligible CPU usage. The hard drive array is SCSI, hardware RAID 1 (LVD Ultra-2, MegaRAID Express 300 with 2xSeagate Cheetah XL - 37GB, 6ms, 10k RPM), with a 32MB cache. Given that the drives have such a large cache, fast access speed, and that there is no delay from a command line (over ssh), is it safe to assume there's either a network or Samba problem? The server is on its own port of a switch and I am currently the only...

I am building three identical systems. Well they will have different host names, and with time the software setups will drift. But at install time they are identical. Is there some way, (with dd I might guess) to do a hardare level copy? All three drives are Hitachi DK23DA-40F (40Gb). Supposedly factory reconditioned (they are in sealed bags with a drive sticker stating: "Refurbished

Hello All, I'm running Samba 3.0.24 as PDC and file server on Gentoo Linux, AMD64, 2.6.19 kernel, 100MBit/s network, and experience quite slow file transfers from Samba to WinXP SP2 clients: the speed is varying, but is about 1-2Mb/s at best. I spent quite some time investigating the issue, here are the intermediate results: 1) This happens only when transferring _from_ _Samba_ to
