-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 i've tried -f option as well and it came up with the same result i've monitored both /var/log/imapd.log and /var/log/messages for errors during reconstruction ..i did not see anything searched for imap_ioerror string as well in the above logs with no results. http://www.mail-archive.com/info-cyrus@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg02200.html i found this old post where the guy resolved the issue by creating the error causing folder and running reconstruct again thou he is getting "system I/O error No such file or directory" i only see "system I/O error system I/O error" wish i can try it now instead of waiting for the end of the business day thanks Wesley Craig wrote: > reconstruct -r just reads the DB, so yes the DB must be out of sync with > the filesystem (not really "corruption" per se). reconstruct -r -f > reads the DB *and* the filesystem, but would still probably be subject > to the DB problem you're experiencing.
