Hi!
Recently I switched over to another mail host running the same software
(cyrus 2.2.12) and there was one broken seen database, too with a
similar error message.
I didn't find any possibility to recover this db. I had to delete it, too.
I think skiplist is one of the most reliable databases, with berkeley db
I always has locking problems like these as you mentioned, slow service
startup and a lot of general fuss...
But can anyone shed light on how to recover a crashed skiplist file?
@Simon
I thought about searching the mailing list archives, too, but got major
problems:
The link below every mail http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
just gives 404.
The web/http links on http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/lists.html#archives
gives 404 either.
So there seem to be no archives I know of.
Is there an archive mirror anywhere?
It's kinda demoralizing to get an RTFM when the manual is gone for good...
Thanks,
Daniel

Hello all,
I'm experiencing serious problems whenever there is an accidental disk full
situation. I see two kinds of messages in syslog: the first one concerns the
seen database, for instance:
Jul 21 09:39:54 omni imap[1133]: DBERROR: skiplist
recovery /etc/imap/user/m/mflorencio.seen: ADD at 1FB0 exists
Jul 21 09:39:54 omni imap[1133]: DBERROR:
opening /etc/imap/user/m/mflorencio.seen: cyrusdb error
what happens is that all mails become unreadable forever... I have to delete
rge seen database.
the second one is, for instance:
Jul 21 10:47:07 omni lmtpunix[27618]: DBERROR db3: 5 lockers
what does it mean? is it possible to be expurious lock files? Please advise.
The cyrus version is 2.2.13 configured with
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/cyrus --with-duplicate-db=skiplist
--with-sasl=/usr/local/cyrus --without-snmp
Can I switch the database backends to more realiable ones?
Cheers,
Rodrigo
