Most likely.  At $previous_ork[3] maildirs were kept on reiserfs, and there
were no fs-related problems in all the time I was there.

I <heart> VMware.  One of my ongoing projects (been ongoing for a year or
more, and still not ready for even the most early of adopters) is a tool
for easily converting a Redhat system to a Debian system.  Right now, it
understands the databases used by both but doing the conversion is a right
royal fuckup.  With VMware, I can say "oops" and then roll the disk image
file back to a known good state.

Expect a 0.1 release sometime in 2020 :-)
