I finally got a window of scheduled downtime to test this, and I'm
having problems. Here's what I did:
# /etc/init.d/cyrus-imapd stop
# db_checkpoint -v -1 -h /var/lib/imap/db
# db_recover -v -h /var/lib/imap/db
# rm db/*
# /usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/cvt_cyrusdb /var/lib/imap/deliver.db berkeley
/var/lib/imap/deliver.db.skip skiplist
# /usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/cvt_cyrusdb /var/lib/imap/tls_sessions.db
berkeley /var/lib/imap/tls_sessions.db.skip skiplist
# mv deliver.db.skip deliver.db ; mv tls_sessions.db.skip tls_sessions.db
# chown cyrus:mail tls_sessions.db deliver.db
# /etc/init.d/cyrus-imapd start
At this point, the log explodes with messages along the lines of:
Dec 11 06:11:53 ajax imaps[1394]: DBERROR: critical database situation
Dec 11 06:11:53 ajax master[32203]: service imaps pid 1394 in READY

Any ideas on why this is going on?
I did notice that /var/lib/imap/rpm/db.cfg.cache has entries along the
lines of:
CONFIG_DB_DUPLICATE=berkeley
CONFIG_DB_MBOX=skiplist
CONFIG_DB_SEEN=skiplist
CONFIG_DB_SUBS=flat
CONFIG_DB_TLS=berkeley
CONFIG_DB_ANNOTATION=skiplist
CONFIG_DB_SIEVE=2.2.3
Is there someplace I need to tell imapd that deliver and tls_sessions
are now skiplist? I don't see anything in /etc/imapd.conf and
/etc/cyrus.conf.
Thanks.
