Any time subscription is access imap creates a new file user.sub.NEW instead of user.sub and becomes a run-a-way process. No matter what I do or know can change the subscription based files.. flat or skipless. Right now the file is a flat file and while converting it to skiplist I get the same issue as above - imap process or in this case cvt_cryusdb ll the processor resources and becomes a run-a-way process. PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 8621 root 25 0 86848 2284 1848 R 96.1 0.4 81:51.64 cvt_cyrusdb My log shows this: Sep 16 20:25:27 mail cyrus/cvt_cyrusdb[8545]: skiplist: invalid magic header: /var/lib/cyrus/domain/domain1/user/user1.sub Also when I try to read the "converted" user1.sub file using less I lose any ability with the terminal. I am so at a loss and have been really digging around for days trying to figure this out.. We are using Ubuntu 8.04 on this particular amd 64 box running virtually within xen.
