I just recovered from a minor disaster. I upgraded to the lastest Debian packaged version of Cyrus:
verson 2.1.1.0preCVS20020130 http://people.debian.org/~hmh/cyrus2/ I have been running an experimental Cyrus server as a demo with version 2.1.0.0preCVS2. After the update, all my mailboxes stopped working. What am I doing wrong here ? When I did a rebuild, I got this: washmail:/etc$ /usr/sbin/cyrreconstruct user.b: System I/O error No such file or directory user.cal: System I/O error No such file or directory user.cal.Sent: System I/O error No such file or directory user.e: System I/O error No such file or directory user.j: System I/O error No such file or directory user.j.Archived Read Mail: System I/O error No such file or directory user.j.Archived Sent Mail: System I/O error No such file or directory user.j.Blackboard: System I/O error No such file or directory user.j.Course Evaluations: System I/O error No such file or directory user.j.Fall 01 Courses: System I/O error No such file or directory user.j.Sent Mail: System I/O error No such file or directory user.j.Spring 02 Courses: System I/O error No such file or directory user.junk: System I/O error No such file or directory user.s: System I/O error No such file or directory user.s.Outbox: System I/O error No such file or directory user.s1: System I/O error No such file or directory user.sharon: System I/O error No such file or directory user.t5: System I/O error No such file or directory user.t5.Cyrus: System I/O error No such file or directory user.t5.Debian_Users: System I/O error No such file or directory user.t5.Sentmail: System I/O error No such file or directory user.t5.new: System I/O error No such file or directory user.t5.shared: System I/O error No such file or directory Debian Packages installed: ii cyrus21-admin 2.1.1.0preCVS2 Cyrus mail system (administration tool) ii cyrus21-common 2.1.1.0preCVS2 Cyrus mail system (common files) ii cyrus21-dev 2.1.1.0preCVS2 Cyrus mail system (developer files) ii cyrus21-imapd 2.1.1.0preCVS2 Cyrus mail system (IMAP support) ii cyrus21-pop3d 2.1.1.0preCVS2 Cyrus mail system (POP3 support) ii libauthen-sasl 0.02-1 Perl extension for Cyrus SASL library ii libcyrus-imap- 2.1.1.0preCVS2 Interface to Cyrus imap client imclient libr ii libauthen-sasl 0.02-1 Perl extension for Cyrus SASL library ii libsasl-module 1.5.27-2 Basic Pluggable Authentication Modules for S ii libsasl2 2.1.0-2 Authentication abstraction library. ii libsasl2-dev 2.1.0-2 Development files for authentication abstrac ii libsasl2-modul 2.1.0-2 Basic Pluggable Authentication Modules for S ii libsasl7 1.5.27-2 Authentication abstraction library. ii postfix-snap-t 0.0.20020115+t TLS and SASL support for Postfix snapshots ii sasl-bin 1.5.27-2 Programs for manupulating the SASL users dat ii sasl2-bin 2.1.0-2 Programs for manupulating the SASL users dat I returned to these packages and everything started working again: ii cyrus21-admin 2.1.0.0preCVS2 Cyrus mail system (administration tool) ii cyrus21-common 2.1.0.0preCVS2 Cyrus mail system (common files) ii cyrus21-dev 2.1.0.0preCVS2 Cyrus mail system (developer files) ii cyrus21-imapd 2.1.0.0preCVS2 Cyrus mail system (IMAP support) ii cyrus21-pop3d 2.1.0.0preCVS2 Cyrus mail system (POP3 support) ii libauthen-sasl 0.02-1 Perl extension for Cyrus SASL library ii libcyrus-imap- 2.1.0.0preCVS2 Interface to Cyrus imap client imclient libr ii libauthen-sasl 0.02-1 Perl extension for Cyrus SASL library ii libsasl-module 1.5.27-2 Basic Pluggable Authentication Modules for S ii libsasl7 1.5.27-2 Authentication abstraction library. ii postfix-snap-t 0.0.20020115+t TLS and SASL support for Postfix snapshots ii sasl-bin 1.5.27-2 Programs for manupulating the SASL users dat -- ********************************* *Thedore Knab * *Systems Engineer [Unix] * * --------------------------- * *My Desk: x7419 * *Fax: 410-778-7830 * *********************************
