Hi folks,
Has anyone done any playing around with Exim using split_spool_directory
on a FreeBSD box with the vm.vmiodirenable tunable[1] set to 1?
While the hit on memory is pretty hard, it seems like this would be a
winner on a hard-working dedicated mail server with large queues and
lots of memory, provided the memory wasn't constantly at a premium.
Ciao,
Sheldon.
[1] vm.vmiodirenable allows directories to be buffered in the VM page
cache. It's disabled by default, since it's unlikely to be
beneficial for low-memory systems. When disabled, only a small
number of directories is cached.
