Hello cyrus user, on my cyrus-imapd server I see this: man imapd.conf: statuscache: 0 Enable/disable the imap status cache. statuscache_db: skiplist The cyrusdb backend to use for the imap status cache. Allowed values: berkeley, berkeley-nosync, berkeley-hash, berkeley-hash-nosync, skiplist statuscache_db_path: {configdirectory}/volatile/statuscache.db The absolute path to the statuscache db file. In my imapd.conf I set: statuscache: 1 Every time I restart cyrus-imapd, a copy of /var/lib/imap/volatile/statuscache.db appears on /var/lib/imap path: #ls -l /var/lib/imap/ total 68 -rw------- 1 cyrus mail 852 Feb 8 09:15 annotations.db drwx------ 2 cyrus mail 4096 Jan 14 08:43 backup drwx------ 2 cyrus mail 4096 Feb 8 08:52 db drwx------ 2 cyrus mail 4096 Feb 8 09:15 db.backup1 drwx------ 2 cyrus mail 4096 Feb 8 09:10 db.backup2 drwx------ 2 cyrus mail 4096 Jan 14 08:43 log -rw------- 1 cyrus mail 144 Feb 8 09:15 mailboxes.db drwx------ 2 cyrus mail 4096 Jan 14 08:43 meta drwx------ 2 cyrus mail 4096 Jan 14 08:43 msg drwx------ 2 cyrus mail 4096 Jan 14 08:43 ptclient drwx------ 2 cyrus mail 4096 Jan 14 08:43 quota drwx------ 2 cyrus mail 4096 Feb 8 09:15 rpm drwx------ 2 cyrus mail 4096 Jan 14 08:43 sieve drwxr-x--- 2 cyrus mail 4096 Feb 8 09:15 socket -rw------- 1 cyrus mail 144 Feb 8 09:10 statuscache.db drwx------ 2 cyrus mail 4096 Jan 14 08:43 sync drwx------ 2 cyrus mail 4096 Jan 14 08:43 user drwx-----T 2 cyrus mail 60 Feb 8 09:15 volatile I have to remove it by hand...
