Hi, I have a few question about database recovery, aka "ctl_cyrusdb -r".
What exactly is the purpose of database recovery ? On which database does it operate ? If the database is corrupted, can it fix it ? The way I understand it is that, in case imapd stop abruptely, it will recover the database from the last checkpoint. Is this exact ? I suppose how long it take to recover a database is dependant on many factor, but what would b the longest it should take usually ? I am asking because we had it running for two hours once, and I am not entirely sure it was working at all. It was using 100% of the CPU but it did not seem to write to the mailboxes.db. Since we had no way of telling if it was working or not, we decided to stop and rebuild the database from scratch instead. Also, is there any way to get progress information out of it ? I can see in the man page that there is no verbose option, but is there any other way to see what it is doing ?
