I use Cyrus on XFS and I've noticed that, for example, the SEEN database can get truncated if you accidentally run out of space. I assume that this happens on other file systems as well, but I've never tried it. In fact, I hope to never try it on XFS again either. ;-) I was using a Cyrus 2.2 on Debian Lenny at the time so I'm perfectly happy to concede that this may well have been fixed a long time ago. My databases will have been in skiplist format and I managed to recover them by dumping and reloading with the information I found here: ---- http://wiki.linuxwall.info/doku.php/en:ressources:dossiers:cyrus:repair_skiplist http://www.mail-archive.com/info-cyrus@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg35868.html http://oss.netfarm.it/python-cyrus.php ----- Regards, @ndy -- andyjpb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.ashurst.eu.org/ 0x7EBA75FF ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://www.cyrusimap.org/ List Archives/Info: http://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/pipermail/info-cyrus/
