Regarding the odd mix of tab vs spaces: https://bugzilla.andrew.cmu.edu/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/src/cyrus/imap/ ctl_mboxlist.c.diff?r1=1.56;r2=1.57 According to the change log, this was to be compatible with cyr_dbtool. However, on undump, it appears to accept space or tab. Regarding the additional flag: https://bugzilla.andrew.cmu.edu/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/src/cyrus/imap/ ctl_mboxlist.c.diff?r1=1.43.2.6;r2=1.43.2.7 The flag is optional on undump, defaulting to 0 (a local, active mailbox). If either of these backwards compatible features is tripping you up, then please file a bugzilla report: it should work. I do notice that since your partition names start with a digit, probably the backward compatibility code is insufficient... Hope this helps on your adventures navigating from 1.6 to 2.3! :wes On 15 Jan 2009, at 18:04, Michael Bacon wrote: > In the "bugs that increasingly small number of people are likely to > encounter" department, I've run into this bug on our upgrade test > box on > the path out of the dark ages, a.k.a. between 1.6 and 2.3. > > The 1.6 install uses the flatfile format, and did not include the > mbtype > field.
