Do you have any numbers on read IOPS or seek latency for the
RAID-6 array? Also, how much RAM for the page cache?
Xapian is going to be tricky(*), and it's looking like group search
will require a separate index :< The upside is it may be able
to gradually replace existing indices for WWW and deduplicate
much data for cross-posted messages.
IMAP/JMAP is a different story...
Removing or relocating inboxes isn't going to be fun, either.
(*) Xapian built-in sharding works well for matching CPU core count,
but trying to use Xapian's MultiDatabase (via ->add_database) with
the current mirror of lore (almost 400 shards) doesn't work well,
at all.
