Cyrus imap server and filesystem type.

[Josef Karliak]

   Hi,
   I'm only asking, I'll migrate from old server to a new one. If are  
there a better filesystems (with a dissaster recovery -emails are VERY  
important for users), it is a time and place to migrate.
   Now, on HP DL380G, we've sometimes high waits of processes, 3500  
mail users on 300GB SCSI mirrored disk. Also we use SAN storage,  
synchronized by rsync. SAN storage is now only for copy, on the new  
server we plan to use it actively. That's why I asking too - is Reiser  
on SAN good ? Or ZFS ? Or EXT4 ? And it's disaster recovery (repairing  
filesystem)...
   Thanks
   J.K.
