Yes. I you use BDB for any of the databases, then you will have a
<configdir>/db/ directory.
I have only skiplist and quotalegacy backends defined on my v2.2.12 box,
and yet I still have the following in <configdir>/db/:

-rw------- 1 cyrus mail 4 Apr 18 11:01 skipstamp
It appears that the log.0000000001 is probably leftover from previous
BDB days, but the others are obviously being updated regularly during
the daily checkpoint of databases.
Arrgh! skiptlist does use db/skipstamp, so if you remove db/, it will
get recreated which ctl_cyrusdb -r gets run.
I *think* __db.nnn are BDB files, but I can't explain why they are being
touched if you're not using BDB for any databases. I'd have to look at
the code, but its possible that recovery of *all* of the db types is
done by ctl_cyrusdb -r , regardless of whether they are being used.
