Hi List,
I have a cyrus system with only about 20 users on it. They have about 3
gigs of mail.
The mailboxes.db file is unreadable. of course, reconstruct -m is
unavailable, in typical dougadamsian fashion.
I have seen recommendations to try to 'rebuild the db' using the
'db.backup1' or 'db.backup2' directories. I have the dirs. What specific
command (including flags) do I use to attempt that?
i have seen use 'ctl_cyrusdb -r' but I keep getting segmentation fault and
core dump. I have tried that with and without my corrupted mailboxes.db
file in place. what does that tell us?
Since it's such a small system, a backup the mail spool, reinstall,
recreate user accounts type of approach would work for me if that's the
simplest thing to do... or just a 'run this command to get a fresh
mailboxes file'... but I don't know how.
Can somebody please give me a step by step here?
TIA,
Jeff
