Hello, I'm the system administrator of a french research unit (CNRS), and we are using cyrus and postfix, on a server, for 2 years now, without troubles. Now, we have bought a DAS (Direct Attached Storage) attached to a dedicated server (with tape backup system...) and we'd like to use the DAS to store mailboxes. My idea was to uninstall the IMAP service on our old mailserver, change its postfix configuration to SMTP relay mails to the new server (attached to the DAS), and install new versions of postfix and cyrus on the new server (where the DAS filesystem are mounted locally). Do you think this is the best way to do that ? (I have already tested unsuccesfully, exporting files (with NFS) or partition (with open-iSCSI)... but in case of crash, it seems that data integrity is often broken) I have tried to configure this setup. On the old server, we are using cyrus 2.2.12 (on Linux), and in the new one, I have installed cyrus 2.3.8 (on Linux). So, I have tried to follow the "Upgrading from 2.2.x or earlier" part of cyrus documentation. I have copied the spool directory (rsync of the /var/spool/imap directory), and the db directory (a tar of /var/lib/imap after a cyrus shutdown) from the old server to the new one, created a metapartition directory, launched "tools/migrate-metadata" script... but now, when I start cyrus , it freezes and writes messages in system log files: kernel: ctl_cyrusdb[26239]: segfault at 00002b7e51a60efc rip 00002b5652b30f96 rsp 00007fff59062d60 error 4 cyrus-master[26233]: process 26239 exited, signaled to death by 11 What's wrong ? The new server is running a 64 bits linux distribution (the old a 32 bits). Should I try with a version of cyrus build for 32bits architecture ? Thanks a lot in advance.
