[Fwd: XFS on Redhat 7.1 server, compaq 1600 server]

[Stephen Lord <lord@xxxxxxx>]

Jean, I am forwarding your message onto the xfs mailing list, right now 
I am about neck
deep in 10 different things on the last day before I go on vacation, so 
I do not really
have time to answer you directly, plus I have no experience with insight 
to be honest.

Hopefully people on the list can give you some pointers.

Steve

Steve,
I have a Compaq 1600 proliant server SCSI, I have installed Redhat 7.1 
server, and the only thing on this server will be Insight mail package. 
I have
Configured the raid systems to have 3 separate drives, I'm in the 
process of migrating from Sendmail from an old Linux server to the 
Compaq server. The XFS files
System would be great if I can install it on certain partitions for /var 
& /usr file systems, where the mail is installed. Can you give me some 
pointers on the pros
And cons on installing XFS files system on these partitions /var & /usr. 
Doing this I believe will allow the Insight mail package to work faster 
and allow the files system
To grow and handle file size of 2GB. I do have a few users on the new 
server now, I don't want to upgrade to XFS if the system will crash. 
Your thoughs.
Sincerely
Jean
