Hi I am deploying a cyrus server for my second time. The first time was great. This time I wanted to learn more about disaster recovery.
I am using the simon matter rpm 2.2.3-8 confugured with virtdomain: support. As a test I deleted the cyrus.* files from a mailbox I thought that I may be able to run su -l cyrus "/usr/lib/recontruct -r -f" but this did not rebuild the cyrus.* files and the mailbox was considered corrupt. After copying the cyrus.* files from another directory and running the recontruct command, everything worked fine. I have googled and read the docs but have not seen much docs regarding this and other types of disaster recovery. Does anyone know of any good tutorials or docs with disaster scenarios ? the following run as user cyrus.... <snip> -bash-2.05b$ pwd /var/spool/imap/domain/d/draftmail.org/r/user/robin -bash-2.05b$ /usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/reconstruct -f -r draftmail.org!user.robin: Mailbox has an invalid format user/robin/Junk [EMAIL PROTECTED] user/robin/Sent [EMAIL PROTECTED] -bash-2.05b$ cp Sent\ Items/cyrus.* ./ -bash-2.05b$ /usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/reconstruct -r -f user/[EMAIL PROTECTED] user/robin/Junk [EMAIL PROTECTED] user/robin/Sent [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- Home Page: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyruswiki.andrew.cmu.edu List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
