Adding a new drive for email server

  • 772

I have installed email server with "dovecot, postfix, postfixadmin" etc. Now I mounted new driver. All my mails are in folder /home/vmail/ user is: vmail uid=5000 gid=500.

I like to move those files to new mounted drive. What is the right way to do it? Making symbolic link to /media/emaildrive from /home/vmail or configure postfix and dovecot to use /media/emaildrive/vmail?

  1. cp -Rp /home/vmail /mnt/newdrive
    mv /home/vmail /home/vmailbackup
    edit fstab to mount the new drive at /home/vmail
    init 6
    done

    should work appropriately...
