Re: reconstruct deletes messages

2007-03-06 Thread Michael Menge

Hi,

which Version of Cyrus do you run. In 2.3.x is a new feature
expunge_mode: delayed
which leaves the deleted mails on disk, till they are deleted by cyr_expire.
Till 2.3.8 reconstruct did not recognise these feature and removed the files.
But this would only delete files if they where deleted in Cyrus before.

Quoting Joseph Brennan [EMAIL PROTECTED]:



We're running into cases where running reconstruct removes message
files, sometimes all of the messages in a folder, leaving only the
directory and the cyrus.cache, cyrus.header, cyrus.index files.

This makes no sense to me at all.  I thought the only purpose of
reconstruct is to rebuild the index.  Under what circumstances
would it unlink files?

Thank you.  We're 2.3.something but not 2.3.8.  This explains what
is happening to messages after we restored from backup.
