Q: Move all data related to mail to different drive
Hello,
I would like to set up a mail server on mavericks using the standard email applications provided by apple : Dovecot and postfix. But, for performance and reliability, I would like to move everything mail related to a zfs mirror. What would be the best way to proceed. I can see two options :
1) soft link /Library/Server/Mail to my mirror drive, 2) Change all settings for postfix and dovecot so that they go to my new drive.
Options two seem very error prone to me and not reliable on the long term. Option one seems the way to go.
Any other suggestions ? What do you think ?

In Server.app -> Your Server -> Settings you can change the location of Service Data. This gives you the benefit of option two while staying Server.app/serveradmin compatible.
It will move all data, not just mail, but that is advisable anyway if you use an external RAID.
