conversation db home

[Marco]

Hello,

  I have some doubts, maybe you could help me to understand. I see these 
user-level files in the "configdirectory" path:

  domain/<hash>/<mailboxname>.[conversations|counters|sub|xapianactive]

Why don't these files stay in the metapartition-<something> path?

My config is:

metapartition_files: header index cache expunge squat annotations lock 
dav archivecache

No option for conversation.
And the xapianactive file is in the configdirectory even if the "squat" 
is named in the list of "metapartition_files".

In particular the conversation db seems to become very large, so we 
could better manage the fs space, if it could stay in the metapartition 
path.

In other words, I wouldn't like to see the domain/ path in 
configdirectory. Is there a way to achieve this?
