Hi, I am relatively new to Cyrus...we have been using it for many years, but I have only recently been given the job of administering it. We are using the Debian Cyrus package, 2.4.17. Everything as far as mail storage and delivery from the user perspective is working great. However, I have noticed DBERROR log entries have been happening for months (possibly longer, our detailed syslogs only go back 6 months). I am concerned that there might be a problem, but if not then I would like to clean up the log entries. 2015-03-16T08:28:18.024064-05:00 yorick cyrus/lmtp[2219]: DBERROR db5: /var/lib/cyrus/db/__db.001: No such file or directory 2015-03-16T08:28:18.024159-05:00 yorick cyrus/lmtp[2219]: DBERROR: dbenv->open '/var/lib/cyrus/db' failed: No such file or directory 2015-03-16T08:28:18.024182-05:00 yorick cyrus/lmtp[2219]: DBERROR: init() on berkeley 2015-03-16T08:28:18.024211-05:00 yorick cyrus/lmtp[2219]: DBERROR: reading /var/lib/cyrus/db/skipstamp, assuming the worst: No such file or directory 2015-03-16T08:28:18.024234-05:00 yorick cyrus/lmtp[2219]: executed 2015-03-16T09:15:20.607017-05:00 yorick cyrus/imap[3716]: DBERROR db5: /var/lib/cyrus/db/__db.001: No such file or directory 2015-03-16T09:15:20.607183-05:00 yorick cyrus/imap[3716]: DBERROR: dbenv->open '/var/lib/cyrus/db' failed: No such file or directory 2015-03-16T09:15:20.607227-05:00 yorick cyrus/imap[3716]: DBERROR: init() on berkeley 2015-03-16T09:15:20.607281-05:00 yorick cyrus/imap[3716]: DBERROR: reading /var/lib/cyrus/db/skipstamp, assuming the worst: No such file or directory 2015-03-16T09:15:20.607334-05:00 yorick cyrus/imap[3716]: executed Based on the 3rd line of each block of errors this looks like a BDB (berkeley db) problem...but I checked our imapd.conf and the previous admin switched everything to skiplist in July 2010 as shown by the snippet below from our imapd.conf. FWIW, it appears he left one BDB setting in place accidentally, but I would think that would not make a difference since we no longer use BDB. ----- snippets from imapd.conf ----- # Use skiplist everywhere annotation_db: skiplist ... berkeley_cachesize: 1024 ... # Use skiplist everywhere annotation_db: skiplist ... # Set our quota properly quota_db: skiplist ... # Use skiplist everywhere statuscache_db: skiplist # Use skiplist everywhere tlscache_db: skiplist # Use skiplist everywhere userdeny_db: skiplist ----- end snippets from imapd.conf ----- As far as the /var/lib/cyrus/ directory, there is indeed no db sub-directory, but everything else appears to be in order as far as I can tell. drwxr-x--- 12 cyrus mail 4096 Mar 16 09:37 . drwxr-xr-x 49 root root 4096 Oct 20 14:54 .. -rw------- 1 cyrus mail 144 Mar 16 09:37 annotations.db drwx------ 2 cyrus mail 4096 Mar 16 09:11 db.backup1 drwx------ 2 cyrus mail 4096 Mar 16 08:41 db.backup2 -rw------- 1 cyrus mail 114220 Mar 16 09:37 deliver.db drwx------ 9 cyrus mail 4096 Feb 15 01:56 domain drwx------ 29 cyrus mail 4096 Apr 27 2011 lock drwx------ 2 cyrus mail 4096 Jul 12 2010 log -rw------- 1 cyrus mail 9280 Mar 16 09:37 mailboxes.db drwx------ 2 cyrus mail 4096 Nov 15 2007 msg drwx------ 2 cyrus mail 4096 Nov 11 10:59 proc drwx------ 28 cyrus mail 4096 Nov 15 2007 quota -rw------- 1 cyrus mail 608 Mar 16 09:37 quotas.db drwxr-x--- 2 cyrus mail 4096 Sep 12 2008 socket -rw------- 1 cyrus mail 144 Mar 16 09:37 statuscache.db -rw------- 1 cyrus mail 144 Mar 16 09:37 tls_sessions.db drwx------ 29 cyrus mail 4096 Sep 22 2009 user -rw------- 1 cyrus mail 144 Mar 16 09:37 user_deny.db So, my questions are: 1. Do we actually have a problem here? If so, then I can certainly create a db sub-directory for BDB to work in, but then I wonder why do we need to if we are no longer using BDB? 2. If we do not have a problem, then what can I change in our configuration to let cyrus know it no longer needs to worry with a db sub-directory for BDB (assuming this IS a BDB issue of course)? I have searched the mailing list archives, Googled for info and studied the imapd.conf man pages and have not found an answer. It would be appreciated if anyone in this list knows what is going on or can at least point me in the right direction.
