Hello list, I've tried to test Cyrus-imapd 2.4.6 (v2.4.6-Invoca-RPM-2.4.6-0.9, thanks, Simon!) in a test environment with no problems until I tried moving user mailboxes to different partitions. In 2.3.16, the procedure works almost but replication is broken if you move a user to a different spool on a same backend (but works when using different backend). In 2.4.6, every renm/xfer command I can come up with in cyradm fails somehow. Below is my test mailbox and failed commands attached with their respective log entries. In particular, the "Mailbox name too long" error msg is a bit funny. Why is it trying to find socket/mupdate.target in the first place as I'm using standard murder? Now, what do you suggest? How should I move half of my ~50000 user mailboxes to 24 newly created 500G partitions? Is there a bug in my syntax/configuration or in Cyrus/cyradm? BTW, according to the cyradm's help, one shouldn't be able to give the backend hostname at all, see: cyradm> help renm renm, alias for renamemailbox [--partition partition] oldname newname [partition] rename (and optionally relocate) mailbox That is somewhat contradictory to what we see below (getaddrinfo).
