 |
|
Hello Postfix users,
I have a general mailserver topic related problems. Its not
necessarily postfix related so feel free to ignore this message,
however I do appreciate any replies I might receive.
In the following scenario a postfix based mail server is running for
some 400+ clients.
We archive all original mail in a backup folder were we remove older
mail after a certain period.
We use f.e the following command:
"find /backup/mail_archive/ -mtime +300 -type f -exec /bin/rm -f {} \;"
This works fine on our test machines, but on the production server the
scale is a different one (2-3GB raw data/day), so the command just
stops and never finishes.
Does anybody have any ideas or hints, how to go about troubleshooting
this issue ?
Thank you for reading the message.
Best regards
NIls Valentin |
