I lost my OS drive on my home server, the mail partition was on a raid array
and survived, I have some of the rest of the config info, but it looks like I
lost the configdir contents (the directories are still there, but the files are
missing) I may be able to recover some stuff from lost+found if I can get hints
on what to search for.
now, to make things more interesting, the old system was running gentoo and has
cyrus 2.3.recent on it
the new system is ubuntu with 2.2.something on it (I couldn't get a recent
gentoo installer to run reliably on this hardware)
can I make this work or should I compile 2.3.9?
with reconstruct -m now working how can I recover the mailbox?
the good news is that I only have 3 users on the system (with about 3G of mail
in several hundred folders betwen us) so manual fixes may be practical
the config files were saved, and are:
