Well I was able to get Zimbra up and running on our production server and the installation went smoothly. I have zero problems with the setup right now except for the fact that we decided to have a NAS device for storing all of the emails. We chose to go with Linksys NSS4000 which may not have been the best choice.
After getting Zimbra running properly I tried to mount the NAS to the email server by putting this line in /etc/fstab:
*IP of NAS*:/email/store /opt/zimbra/store nfs defaults
*IP of NAS*:/email/redolog /opt/zimbra/redolog nfs defaults
*IP of NAS*:/email/backup /opt/zimbra/backup nfs defaults
Unfortunately the NSS4000 does not allow a root account to log into it so I get a Permission denied message. I was able to mount it using CIFS though by typing the following:
mount -t cifs //*IP of NAS*/email/store/ /opt/zimbra/store/ -o user=*admin account*
This seems to work fine in that it does not display any error messages when I enter the command. However it does pretty much kill Zimbra. About a minute after I enter the command I can no longer access Zimbra via the web interface for the user or Admin.
Does anyone know what is causing this issue?
Can if use a CIFS mount for what I am trying to do?
What NAS devices have been used successfully in the past?
Hopefully someone can help me out.
