JFTR: It took me some time to find a working syntax ;-)
My working 2.0.18 syntax threw the following error:
vmail> dsync -v -f -u test ssh vm...@remote-host.tld dsync -v -f -u test
doveadm(vmail): Fatal: Unknown print formatter: -u
dsync-local(test): Error: read() from worker server failed: EOF
Omitting '-f' or '-v -f' results in:
vmail> dsync -v -u test ssh vm...@remote-host.tld dsync -v -u test
dsync: illegal option -- u
dsync-local(test): Error: read() from worker server failed: EOF
Now I switched to the recommended new syntax as stated in
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Upgrading/2.1:
vmail> doveadm sync -v -f -u test ssh vm...@remote-host.tld doveadm
sync -v -f -u test
doveadm: illegal option -- v
doveadm sync [-u <user>|-A] [-S <socket_path>] [-fR] [-m <mailbox>]
<dest>
ok, following those hints:
vmail> doveadm sync -u test -f ssh vm...@remote-host.tld doveadm sync
-u test
ssh: Could not resolve hostname dsync-server: hostname nor servname
provided, or not known
dsync-local(test): Error: read() from worker server failed: EOF
dsync-local(test): Error: read() from worker server failed: EOF
Hmm, 'man doveadm' doesn't show 'sync', and 'man sync' shows old syntax.
Luckily, I remembered finding an mail of yours in
http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2012-January/062933.html :
|>>> dsync mirror -> doveadm mirror
|>>> dsync backup -> doveadm backup
|>>> dsync server -> doveadm dsync-server (could be hidden from the
doveadm commands list)
| I did this now, with mirror -> sync.
After some trial by error I finally found a working syntax:
vmail> doveadm sync -u test -f ssh vm...@remote-host.tld doveadm
dsync-server -u test

Therefore you might add a warning about different syntax as well?
Please, don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining. This mail is JFTR, only. And,
this mail might help others to save some time after an upgrade to 2.1 and those
who mirror mailboxes sitting at different servers.
Thanks and regards,
Michael
