    OK, that's a shame. Is anyone else on this list as greedy as I am? :)

    For now, I've set up a metapartition just for the squat index files (on
    slower drives) which has at a stroke saved 8G from the main partition.

    I've immediately noticed a bug in either imapd or squatter.

    One of my users created a new mailbox, and imapd only created the
    directory on the main partition, not on the metapartition. Along comes
    squatter -s, and it can't find the existing cyrus.squat file as the
    directory doesn't exist on the metapartition.

    Creating this directory by hand allows squatter to complete.

    I'm not sure which of imapd or squatter should be fixed, but it ought to
    be trivial in the former case and almost trivial (think mkdirhier) in the
    latter.

    Hope this is helpful

    Matt
