I should have been more explicit :-)

I have used Courier and UW for many years and never had a problem.  

This is the first time that I have used Cyrus and my first impressions
have been poor.  I have had exptensive difficulties with Eudora and
Outlook with file locking.  I have also had problems with mail clients
becoming unresponsive.  I know that it is possible and probable for all
these difficulties to stem from the file system difficulties.  I just
felt I was using it as an excuse.

In addition as I am going to migrate all services before I rebuild the
RAID it makes sense to use something I know well, it would mean a faster
and smoother transition, rather than intending a slight upon Cyrus.  I
could do it with the existing hardware - replace the broken hard drive
add an additional PCI - IDE card to ensure that each hard drive has its
own channel as per the software RAID Howto. This I feel would be taking
too much of a risk as Amanda now refuses to run due to filesystem
corruption.  

Kind regards
Xander
