Has anyone tried running the sendmail *spool* dir on a filer?
we tried and failed miserably, but didn't have time to investigate.
I think sendmail and traditional spool (all mails in one file) will be a mess over NFS. We have no trouble with postfix/maildrop spool on NFS. The spool is separated over several filers, volumes and qtrees for performance reasons. (a few hundred million small files are the best performance killers you can get ;-)
