Hi,
I'm using Cyrus-IMAPD 2.2.10 on two solaris9 hosts
- One is main and another is backup - and using rsync (*1)
to sync two host's /var/imap every day.
Two host mount (share) /var/spool/imap via NFS.
(*1) run as following on backup
/opt/sfw/bin/rsync -a --delete --rsync-path=/opt/sfw/bin/rsync
main:/var/imap/ /var/imap/
Usualy, only main host's imapd is running and backup host's
imapd is not running. I run imapd on backup manually in case
I want to use by test.
The composition is following.
main backup
+-------------+ +-------------+
| Local Disk | | Local Disk |
| /var/imap | | /var/imap |
+-------------+ +-------------+
| NFS | NFS
+------------------------------------------------+
| NFS Server /var/spool/imap |
+------------------------------------------------+
Well, I have a trouble and question.
Yesterday, I want to test on backup so I run imapd.
Then, error message output continues to /var/log/imapd.log
as following.
- Jun 22 22:01:12 solomon2 ctl_cyrusdb[25123]: [ID 854764 local6.error]
DBERROR: error listing log files: No such file or directory
- Jun 22 22:01:12 solomon2 ctl_cyrusdb[25123]: [ID 686478 local6.error]
DBERROR: archive /var/imap/db: cyrusdb error
I think the reason, the file in /var/imap/ is broken because of
rsync timing of execution.
So I want to know the better (or recommend) way to backup
Cyrus-IMAPD /var/imap files to other host without stop
service.
Please tell me how to achieve it.
Best regards,
- flathill
