Just out of curiosity what leads you to think its I/O? Is this sending or receiving? You say its on one partition? Is the mail spool directory hashed? How many mail's are you doing a second? How many mails WERE you doing a second on linux? A little more insight into how things are configured would help a bit. :-) I bet brad will see this too and he will surely know the right direction to point you. I run mostly postfix here. Since it has lower overhead writing mail. If your queue is being filled up because qmail isnt processing them fast enough that mostly sounds just like a configuration problem. But again I dont know what your traffic is like. If its something small or something crazy. ============================================================================= -Chris Watson (316) 326-3862 | FreeBSD Consultant, FreeBSD Geek Work: scanner@jurai.net | Open Systems Inc., Wellington, Kansas Home: scanner@deceptively.shady.org | http://open-systems.net ============================================================================= WINDOWS: "Where do you want to go today?"
