Koozali SME Server 10.x / spell check not work

« Last post by logs on September 19, 2025, 09:38:15 AM »

Since updating to 10.1, spell check does not work in webmail. It is enabled in the options, and I cannot find any references to smeserver-locale, aspell, etc. They are installed. Does anyone know what might be happening?

you do not want root email not delivered if big disk fails to mount.

/home/e-smith/Maildir is for root(=admin) only, users have it in /home/e-smith/files/users
so you probably only need to mount /home/e-smith/files, but I need to test this myself

question is not specific to ISCSI, but generik to any situaiton where you want to have some of your data stored somewhere else than the system disk.

Obvious really; not thinking clearly.

In the case of SME Server, we usually suggest
- /home/e-smith/files
or
- /home/e-smith/files/users +  /home/e-smith/files/ibays + /home/e-smith/files/nextcloud ...

The idea is to keep system basic always available, and /home/e-smith has admin /root email. Keeping content of /home/e-smith/files on a bigger drive allow to store the huge amout of data out of system (except databases like /var/lib/mysql) and ease migration from version to another by only migrating db and configuration and then reattach your drive with user data.

Thanks for that. My worry is that the folder /home/e-smith/Maildir is not written to the big disk and, as it contains all the email traffic it may become to large for the free space on the SSD. or is it only a buffer and mail finishes up in another place?

probably a temp repo issue while it is syncing.
usually appstream/baseos updates ends up in smeos after few days, the time we get them and copy them there.

Koozali SME Server 10.x / Where to mount a big HDD that resides on an iSCSI target

« Last post by edform on September 16, 2025, 03:23:22 PM »

I have successfully attached an iSCSI target to my SME 10.1 server to supplement the storage space available on the small SSD in the server itself. I have mounted its storage unit at /home/e-smith/files, and I have added its details to /etc/fstab so that it remains available after reboots of the server. I have also written the text of a HowTo which I'll publish if it is thought useful.

Now I need advice on where to mount such a disk.

The suggestion to sit it at /home/e-smith/files came from Jean-Philippe Pialasse, and I can see his logic from the directory structure. The folder /home contains one subfolder: e-smith. Then /home/e-smith contains the subfolders: db, files, and Maildir, and some files: dkim_keys, ssl.crt, ssl.key, and ssl.pem. The folder /home/e-smith/files is where SME server puts its ibays, so having lots of space for that is important. What bothers me a bit, however, is that /home/e-smith/Maildir could also become big and space on the SSD is limited, so should I move the mount point of the big disk to /home/e-smith, or will that cause trouble because the iSCSI target object may not become available until after the system looks for things stored on it?
