This is well known problem being tracked in bug 2894 in the cyrus
bugzilla. Log in, vote for it. It will get fixed whenever someone
at CMU decides they care enough.

I have a problem with reconstruct. A partition which got lost and
then restored has a number of a user's mailboxes on it. Via Imap,
many of these mailboxes seem empty, so I used /usr/cyrus/bin/
reconstruct -r user.Username to hopefully readd the data. However,
this does not appear to work. Trying /usr/cyrus/bin/reconstruct -r -
f user.Username also does not do the required, yet the files are on
disk. One problem that may be exacerbating the situation is that
some of this user's mailboxes are on one cyrus partition and some
on another and the partition I am working on is not the one that
mbpath returns. But the mailboxes are definitely on that partition
as a dump of the mailboxes database indicates that they are.
So where from here ? Is there an easy way out - maybe force all
the user's mailboxes to go onto the correct (as far as mbpath goes)
partition and reconstruct... Advice most welcome.
Thanks
Geoff
