Will ctl_cyrusdb -r take 10 hours ? I dread the day when the system will need downtime again.
This is on a decent 2 x P3 1 GHz with 100 GB scsi raid and 1 GB RAM, about 2000 users, 50 MB per user.
I really need reboot times to be between 5 to 10 minutes, as against 10 hours. I will set the checkpoint period to 5 minutes as per the FAQ, but are there any other pointers ?

Hi,
I have a cyrus IMAP system here which is taking way too long to start up, stopping just at ctl_cyrusdb -r. There does not seem to be any activity going on, but ctl_cyrusdb just doesnot exit.
I am running cyrus-imapd-2.1.8 on a redhat 7.3 system. The backend database is DB3.
I need some directions on what could be wrong and where ? Is it normal for ctl_cyrusdb -r to take as much as 1 hr (and still running) to
finish ?
