Anyone using Linux LVM with cyrus?

[Ben Poliakoff]

Hi all,

We're preparing to roll out a new cyrus mail system which will handle
the bulk of our 1700 users' email.  The server platform will be redhat
linux 7.3 or 8.0.  

We'd like to use the Linux LVM (at the very least for the mail store
itself) so that we can back up the system off of read only snapshots
(courtesy of LVM).

Has anyone out there used LVM with cyrus imap in an environment as
large or larger than 1700 users?  If so we'd love to hear about any
lessons learned (i.e. "Don't do it!") or gotchas...

Ben
