I assume it's this one...? http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.mail.imap.cyrus/28354 (this is my home "server" (a Pentium II 233MHz, that have been running more or less continously since 1999), so I don't have any test systems to migrate to. But I _do_ have an rsync copy of the spool, on a separate HD. So I would eventually have been able to recover most of the messages, I think) > Be aware that we are not all debian user, and dont know the script and > tips provided by debian to help in migration.

I've tried to follow the instructions for the upgrade from 2.1 to to 2.2 in /usr/share/doc/cyrus-common-2.2/UPGRADE.Debian.gz (installed by the cyrus-common-2.2 package of debian etch), which refers to the database upgrade steps of the "Upgrading from cyrus 1.5.x in the same document. The final step in the 1.5.x upgrade section, refers to the /usr/share/doc/cyrus-common-2.2/README.Debian.database.gz (installed by the same package) for database upgrades. This document describes the conversion of the /var/lib/cyrus and the SUBS and SEEN databases from bdb to skiplist, and the /var/lib/cyrus databases was when things messed up for me, and I started posting messages to the list. (Side note: I already was on skiplists for the SEEN databases in 2.1.x. I can't quite remember, but I think it was after losing the BDB SEEN databases for the second or third time. I have had no problems since then, but the deliver.db (still in BDB) has gone corrupt on me a couple of times) And Alain: thanx again!
