Things are going well, and the time of the switch over approaches. If you use mail locally on ofb, I'd recommend holding off until the all-clear.
Also, in case anyone was confused, I have said I'm making changes to the mail spool, but technically, this is /var/mail which is getting its own disk. This where all the mail directories are. I think that the mail spool is properly the place where the mail server keeps mail in flight. I'm not touching that.
Also, after this is done, a copy of everyone's mail will still remain on the root partition. In order to get any gains from this change, we'll need to delete it. So, after the all clear people should check if their mail looks all good and if not, we still have the original /var/mail. I figure we'll delete it in a few days, maybe a week. So, please speak up if you have any issues.
Mail will be going down pretty soon and you'll hear from me when we're back.
