We're looking to offer bulk storage to our users; essentially, just
folders with large quotas on cheaper storage and a low priority backup
schedule.
My initial thought was to create these folders under the user's Inbox,
on a separate partition and with their own quota root; however, it seems
pretty easy to break this (eg by renaming the folder, which moves it
back to the default partition). It's tricky to control this with ACLs as
subfolders inherit from their parents and we do want people to be able
to delete those! I'm now thinking that this will have to be done with a
separate hierarchy.
Presumably a lot of other sites are running a similar setup - I'd
appreciate any advice on the best way to make this work. We're currently
running 2.2.12, but mean to upgrade soon; if the ACL extensions in RFC
4314 are useful then I can delay the bulk storage until the upgrade is done.
regards,
Adam Stephens.
