[ZendTo] /var/zendto on NFS

Mon Jun 18 16:50:08 BST 2018

ok thank makes sense.

but if "incoming" is set to local disk, are dropoffs then limited to the size of local disk? or are dropoffs broken into chunks and moved to "dropoffs" (NFS) throughout the upload?

thank you

Yes, you don't want to move all of it to NFS, as particularly the sqlite
database file needs careful record locking which only some versions of
NFS implement (and not always very well, even then).
You can store the drop-offs remotely if you like (*only*
/var/zendto/dropoffs) but I would strongly advise against moving
anything else out of local storage.

If you move the "incoming" directory to NFS, virus scanning,
checksumming and/or encryption will take far longer than necessary as
they will all be reading and writing via NFS, which is inevitably slower
than your local storage.

Cheers,
Jules.
