Bron, sorry, somehow I forgot about this mail! --On 19. April 2012 20:04:04 +0200 Bron Gondwana <brong@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
I think I've read all the available information regarding the issue, but I'm still confused. We're still running 2.3.x for production, but I have a test system with a copy of the production data. We use fulldirhash. When I installed 2.4.14, I encountered the hashing issue. So now I ran the rehash script after updating to 2.4.16: $ time /usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/rehash -v -F /etc/imapd.conf you are using /var/lib/imap/sieve as your sieve directory. i will also hash partitions. converting configuration directory /var/lib/imap... mkdir /var/lib/imap/lock: done user quota done sieve /var/lib/imap/sieve... rename /var/lib/imap/sieve/global to /var/lib/imap/sieve/V/global: done done partition /var/spool/imap... done partition /var/spool/imap2... done partition /var/spool/imap3... done partition /var/spool/imap4... done partition /var/spool/imap5... done partition /var/spool/imap6... done real 0m7.232s user 0m5.639s sys 0m0.227s Just seven seconds? And I don't see much actual rehashing, except for the global sieve directory. What am I missing?Are your directories already hashed correctly? It doesn't move anything it doesn't have to!
Well, that's the question, I suppose. I'm thinking that I may have misunderstood the issue. The production server running 2.3.14 is a 32-bit RHEL 3 system. The VM I'm using for 2.4 is a 64-bit RHEL 5 system. Its Perl binary uses 32-bit ints. I thought previously that I would have to rehash the 2.3 spool for that to work, but now I start to think that I don't, because the hashing algorithm hasn't actually changed, and the Perl part has been fixed. The only problem would have been trying to use the broken Perl code in 2.4.14. Is that correct?
Thanks, Sebastian
