Hi, I have a big problem with my Cyrus and my BDB here. I'm using Cyrus 2.2.12 with BDB 4.2.52. When I'm starting Cyrus, I get this error in my imapd.log: ------- Aug 30 22:38:44 alpha1 master[19525]: setrlimit: Unable to set file descriptors limit to -1: Operation not permitted Aug 30 22:38:44 alpha1 master[19525]: retrying with 1024 (current max) Aug 30 22:38:44 alpha1 master[19525]: process started Aug 30 22:38:44 alpha1 master[19526]: about to exec /opt/cyrus/cyrus/bin/ctl_cyrusdb Aug 30 22:38:44 alpha1 ctl_cyrusdb[19526]: DBERROR db4: Recovery function for LSN 8 7404244 failed on backward pass Aug 30 22:38:44 alpha1 ctl_cyrusdb[19526]: DBERROR db4: PANIC: Is a directory Aug 30 22:38:44 alpha1 ctl_cyrusdb[19526]: DBERROR: critical database situation Aug 30 22:38:44 alpha1 master[19525]: process 19526 exited, status 75 Aug 30 22:38:44 alpha1 master[19525]: ready for work Aug 30 22:38:44 alpha1 master[19527]: about to exec /opt/cyrus/cyrus/bin/ctl_cyrusdb Aug 30 22:38:44 alpha1 ctl_cyrusdb[19527]: DBERROR db4: PANIC: fatal region error detected; run recovery Aug 30 22:38:44 alpha1 ctl_cyrusdb[19527]: DBERROR: critical database situation Aug 30 22:38:44 alpha1 master[19525]: process 19527 exited, status 75 -------- So I tried a reconstruct -m and a reconstruct -r user/username on a specific mailbox and I'm getting this: -------- Aug 30 22:41:08 alpha1 reconstruct[19571]: DBERROR db4: PANIC: fatal region error detected; run recovery Aug 30 22:41:08 alpha1 reconstruct[19571]: DBERROR: critical database situation -------- Running "ctl_cyrusdb -r" results in a: -------- ug 30 22:41:50 alpha1 ctl_cyrusdb[19582]: DBERROR db4: Recovery function for LSN 8 7404244 failed on backward pass Aug 30 22:41:50 alpha1 ctl_cyrusdb[19582]: DBERROR db4: PANIC: Is a directory Aug 30 22:41:50 alpha1 ctl_cyrusdb[19582]: DBERROR: critical database situation -------- Damn BDB, but HOW CAN I GET MY MAILS BACK?
