Yes, Hoosiermac, I read your post. You wrote:
Quote:HFS+ sucks for tons of small files. It doesn't perform well,
I was hoping you could provide a substantive link/source for some information on how and why HFS+ is so badly implemented on OSX. I am a current OSX user, doing long-range planning for potential upgrade paths (though we currently have only 45 users).
I searched, but could only find substantial reference to problems with Linux HFS+ implementations.
Thanks,
ft.

Running plenty of OSX servers without trouble. We usually recommend moving to a RAID 10 after around 80 to 100 mailboxes. Index files seem to be fine as long as the server is restarted gracefully. For servers with large numbers of users (hundreds) this means stopping/starting during off peak hours.

Maclab; How do you user KMSRecover, nighttime too? I will try replace our old Xserve with a Apple Mini i7 16GB RAM and 2 RAID0 SSD-disk, store everything on Pegasus v2 R8 24TB thunderboltraid. I have 250+ users with 2500000 files. Will upgrade so they can have twice as much quota - 2GB per user to start with.
Wish me luck.

I'm running on an xServe currently with 2T of RAID1 for my mail store.
Running Carbon Copy Cloner for mailstore backup. Again, rsync with a GUI.
Moving to a Mini with a Pegasus v1. To migrate I'm going to backup mailstore to an external drive, then move that to the new store (all with the old server running). Once that's done, then I'll shutdown KC, backup the mailstore to the external, then copy the external to the new server and start up the new KC.
I've done this before (PowerPC G4 tower to Intel xServe) and it works smoothly.
Cheers,
Jon
