Hi,

I'm in building a test-environment where I'd like to setup my cyrus mail spoll 
(/var/spool/cyrus/mail) on a NFS filesystem. I know that locking issues in 
NFSv3 prevent a clean mail delivery with cyrus and want to give NFSv4 a try.

My suspect from older tests was, that the handling of cyrus.index and 
other "database"-files (cyrus.cache, cyrus.header, cyrus.squat) isn't 
possible on NFSv3. Beside changing the NFS version, I thougt of an option 
where those files are stored on a different (non-NFS) partition.

Does anybody know about a way to configure the path of those files? Or are 
there ways to move them after creation?

BTW: Has anybody expieriences with NFSv4?

Thanks,
Ingo Steuwer
