A while ago I did a conversion to skiplist on my SLES9 and documented it. So, this is my step-by-step howto for any interested person: 1) First let's check with the help of "file" command the DB type of file we want to convert (like: # file annotations.db): We get (on my SLES9 machine): annotations.db: Cyrus skiplist DB deliver.db: Berkeley DB (Btree, version 9, native byte-order) mailboxes.db: Cyrus skiplist DB tls_sessions.db: Berkeley DB (Btree, version 9, native byte-order) exampleuser.seen: Cyrus skiplist DB Now we know that we have to convert only deliver.db and tls_sessions.db from BDB to skiplist. 2) Some tips on the script below: We should add these lines to imapd.conf (via script): duplicate_db: skiplist tlscache_db: skiplist annotation_db: skiplist mboxlist_db: skiplist ptscache_db: skiplist quota_db: quotalegacy seenstate_db: skiplist subscription_db: flat We want to remove all data from the db dirs because there may still be some files from the BerkeleyDB and they can lead to error messages, which are in fact not real cyrus errors. On such a migration I usually do this after rsyncing: rm -rvf /var/lib/imap/db/* /var/lib/imap/db.*/* 3) Just run the script - The script itself: ------------------ #!/bin/bash ########################### /etc/init.d/cyrus stop # Make backup of all cyrus DB at /data/backup/berkeleydb-backup/ directory cp -pR /var/lib/imap /data/backup/berkeleydb-backup/ cp /data/backup/berkeleydb-backup/imap/deliver.db /data/backup/berkeleydb-backup/imap/deliver.db.berkeley cp /data/backup/berkeleydb-backup/imap/tls_sessions.db /data/backup/berkeleydb-backup/imap/tls_sessions.db.berkeley # Actual conversion to skiplist format /usr/lib/cyrus/bin/cvt_cyrusdb /data/backup/berkeleydb-backup/imap/deliver.db.berkeley berkeley /data/backup/berkeleydb-backup/imap/deliver.db.skiplist skiplist /usr/lib/cyrus/bin/cvt_cyrusdb /data/backup/berkeleydb-backup/imap/tls_sessions.db.berkeley berkeley /data/backup/berkeleydb-backup/imap/tls_sessions.db.skiplist skiplist # Adding some config options to imapd.conf: echo -e "duplicate_db: skiplist\ntlscache_db: skiplist\nannotation_db: skiplist\nmboxlist_db: skiplist\nptscache_db: skiplist\nquota_db: quotalegacy\nseenstate_db: skiplist\nsubscription_db: flat" >> /etc/imapd.conf cp /data/backup/berkeleydb-backup/imap/deliver.db.skiplist /var/lib/imap/deliver.db cp /data/backup/berkeleydb-backup/imap/tls_sessions.db.skiplist /var/lib/imap/tls_sessions.db rm -rvf /var/lib/imap/db/* /var/lib/imap/db.*/* # Create skipstamp so that cyrus doesn't complain touch /var/lib/imap/db/skipstamp chown -R cyrus:mail /var/lib/imap /etc/init.d/cyrus start ################################ 3) Final check: Yes, that should be okay.
