Depending on load, I'd advise pre-sync-ing all of your users & shared mailboxes prior to starting rolling replication, e.g.: sync_client -luv user1 user2 ... sync_client -lmv shared.mailbox1 shared.mailbox2 ... Then start rolling replication. This will prevent rolling replication from getting so far behind that it thrashes. Mailboxes will still not be entirely in sync at this point, so insert user and mailbox events into the rolling replication log: cyr_synclog -u user Regarding the bail out, take a look at the logs on both the backend and the replica. :wes ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/ Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/twiki List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
