I mean that in the first case, you give a list of all your users (and shared mailboxes) to the sync_client command, using -u and -m operating modes, respectively. See man sync_client, note also the -f option. You can skip this step if you trust that your replica is completely up-to-date. There might have been some glitches in the replication at a point or another, so I prefer to synchronize all users and shared folders just before the role change, just in case. YMMV. The manual sync log run means that you just check if there are any outstanding entries left in <configdir>/sync/log (where <configdir> is typically /var/lib/imap) and if there are, you run the sync_client for that log file using mode -r. Like sync_client -r -f /var/lib/imap/sync/log. You see, when you shut down Cyrus at step 2, there might've been some new sync events generated by imapd/lmtpd/pop3d that the background-running sync_client didn't have time to handle before it was shut down. --Janne -- Janne Peltonen <janne.peltonen@xxxxxxxxxxx> PGP Key ID: 0x9CFAC88B Please consider membership of the Hospitality Club (http://www.hospitalityclub.org) ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://www.cyrusimap.org/ List Archives/Info: http://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/pipermail/info-cyrus/ To Unsubscribe: https://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/mailman/listinfo/info-cyrus
