[Dovecot] changing architecture
Dear all, moving Maildirs from a PPC cpu to an Intel one (MacOS X to FreeBSD) not surprisingly I got: Apr 23 12:08:50 drum dovecot: IMAP(x): Rebuilding index file /usr/home/ x/Maildir/dovecot.index: CPU architecture changed Apr 23 12:08:52 drum dovecot: IMAP(x): Corrupted index cache file /usr/ home/x/Maildir/dovecot.index.cache: field header points outside file Apr 23 12:09:01 drum dovecot: IMAP(x): fscking index file /usr/home/x/ Maildir/.Drafts/dovecot.index Apr 23 12:09:01 drum dovecot: IMAP(x): Corrupted transaction log file / usr/home/x/Maildir/.Drafts/dovecot.index.log: file size shrank Apr 23 12:09:01 drum dovecot: IMAP(x): fscking index file /usr/home/x/ Maildir/.Posta indesiderata/dovecot.index Apr 23 12:09:01 drum dovecot: IMAP(x): Corrupted transaction log file / usr/home/x/Maildir/.Posta indesiderata/dovecot.index.log: file size shrank I suppose owed to the endianness change. Can I thus just remove those dovecot.index files, including dovecot.index.cache and dovecot.index.cache.log? I know I could let dovecot do it, but as the cache files in particular are quite large, it would save me band simply not transferring them with rsync from the old server. thanks Giuliano
