Title: I'm curious about nfs and how to cluster the toaster
Post by: mcbloom on April 29, 2004, 10:44:27 AM
Hi,

I've recently seen some heavy load on my toaster, which is being front ended by two sendmail boxes doing store and forward for incoming and act as outgoing servers for my customers.

I think I've reached the point where I might need more than one toaster answer incoming email and filing it in maildirs. I see there is some cluster-like settings which I suspect are for mysql replication, but I'm curious if anyone has successfully used the toaster with a san or nfs server, what mount points you may have used and any gotchas with respect to qmail locking maildir and mail queue activity.
