user.markr has, through a sequence of events, ended up with data on both partition8 (/var/imap/partition-8) and default (/var/imap/ partition-1). All his mailboxes have been consolidated into default, but there are still copies in partition-8. So I think ctl_mboxlist -v should report that partition-8 is there but has no DB entry. But it says: 'user.markr' has a directory on partition 'default' but no DB entry Which is bogus, because: mailhost-new# ctl_mboxlist -d | grep user.markr user.markr 0 default markr lrswipcda mailadm lrs ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/ Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/twiki List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
