archive and normal partition mixing question

[Marco]

Hello,

I would like to create a quota root mailbox with a normal partition
which is the same of the archive partition. Does Cyrus allow this?

For instance, I would know if this configuration is valid:

partition-maildata1: /maildata/maildata1
partition-maildata2: /maildata/maildata2
partition-arcmaildata1: /archivio/maildata1
partition-arcmaildata2: /archivio/maildata2
archivepartition-maildata1: /archivio/maildata1
archivepartition-maildata2: /archivio/maildata2

metapartition-maildata1: /metamaildata/maildata1
metapartition-maildata2: /metamaildata/maildata2
metapartition-arcmaildata1: /metarchivio/maildata1
metapartition-arcmaildata2: /metarchivio/maildata2

archive_enabled: 1
archive_days: 30



In this way Cyrus could archive old mails in /archivio/maildata*
But these partitions are used for other mailboxes too. For instance I can

createmailbox user/***@example.com maildata1
createmailbox user/john.doe/***@example.com arcmaildata1

In this way all messages moved or sent to "Archive" folder will stay
under arcmaildata1.
All mailboxes archived by "cyr_expire -A" will go to the same path of
arcmaildata1 too.

Thank you very much
Regards
Marco

No, don't do that. You can put them on the same filesystem, but don't
put different-named partitions on the same disk path. That will confuse
Cyrus no end.
