Re: cyrus won't recognize new partition

[Jesse Ross <jross@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks to all for your help.  I finally figured out my problem, which was just old-fashioned operator idiocy.  I have two imap processes running with different configs - one without TLS, so that I can conveniently run cyradm locally.  I had only made the config change in the public server, not the one that cyradm connects to.

Thanks for the suggestion.  The only thing that the mkimap script does differently from the way I did it was to create a directory /var/spool/imap07/sync./.  However, I still can't get cyrus to recognize the partition!  The symptoms are the same; ownership of directories set to cyrus, appropriate permissions as copied from working partitions, configuration same as for the working partitions.

IMAP_PARTITION_UNKNOWN isn't associated with permission problems, typically.  For the create code path, you get it when there's a failure to convert the symbolic partition name to a path.

Is there perhaps a way to get cyrus to log what it thinks the problem with the partition is?

The number of cases that can result in IMAP_PARTITION_UNKNOWN is pretty small, I'd probably try inserting some logging into the process for those results.  It's either a bug or configuration oversight, I'm sure.
