Topic: Should I move iRedMail to /home/?

==== Required information ====

- Store mail accounts in which backend (LDAP/MySQL/PGSQL): PGSQL
- Linux/BSD distribution name and version: CentOS 7.0
- Related log if you're reporting an issue:

I have only 50Gb of storage for iRedMail, but I do have 0.9 Tb storage mapped in /home/.

Should I move iRedMail installation to /home/ to be sure mail server will have enough of storage?

Why not just set/change the directory for mail storage to say /home/vmail?

Hi laserlight, of course! That would help a lot. The question is how to do that properly, that mail will work, and no data harmed.

Create a symbol link. smile

For example, default storage path is /var/vmail, you can move it to, for example, /home/vmail, then create symbol link /var/vmail link to /home/vmail.
