Just wanted to post an update and see if anyone had a better solution. I'm running a Red Hat 9 server with Cyrus imapd 2.2.1 BETA. Thursday at about 17:20 we started seeing alarms on our POP monitor for this server. We investigated and found that everyone after the letter 'c' had been removed from the DB. After looking through the logs we found that ctl_cyrusdb ran at 17:15. We're thinking that this somehow caused the problem. UnfortunatJust wanted to post an update and see if anyone had a better solution.
I'm running a Red Hat 9 server with Cyrus imapd 2.2.1 BETA. Thursday at about 17:20 we started seeing alarms on our POP monitor for this server. We investigated and found that everyone after the letter 'c' had been removed from the DB. After looking through the logs we found that ctl_cyrusdb ran at 17:15. We're thinking that this somehow caused the problem. Unfortunately, we can???t say for sure. This is what we have done so far: Stopped cyrus Ran ???ctl_mboxlist ???d > mboxlist??? Moved the mailboxes.db to another location Moved the db directory to another location Moved deliver.db to another location Did an ls on the directory structure and sent it to dir.txt Took dir.txt and converted it to the format of mboxlist file (except for the tab on the end of each line. Not sure if this caused a problem) Then did an undump of dir.txt back into mailboxes.db Started cyrus The above steps got POP working, but IMAP gives ???Mailbox does not exist??? when trying to select the ???INBOX??? using squirrelmail. I also tried using the reconstruct command before and after moving the mailboxes.db to no avail. At this point I???m thinking of writing the ???m option of reconstruct unless anyone has some better ideas or has already written something that might help. While writing the ???m option I might try to figure out why the ???f and ???r options of reconstruct didn???t appear to work in my case. I???m wondering if the ???f and ???r options don???t work because I???m using the fulldirhash option. Please help. Thanks, Hank
