It fits because your Cyrus is configured to use BerkleyDB for some 9or
all) of the databases.
You should not have to stop Cyrus. Running this command (with proper -h
location) should show you what log files are no longer used:
db_archive -h /var/imap/db
And this command should get rid of them:
db_archive -d -h /var/imap/db

How does that fit in with Cyrus? Do I need to stop imapd before I use
db_archive?
thank you!

I asked this a few months ago, but now it's getting urgent. I have a
NetBSD 5.x server, running Cyrus imapd 2.4.17 from pkgsrc, /var/imap/db
is getting very full :
bash-4.3# du -sh db
7.0G db
(this is on a reasonably small server)
and it grows every day, it's full of these :
-rw------- 1 cyrus mail 10485760 Feb 1 03:47 log.0000000953
-rw------- 1 cyrus mail 10485760 Feb 2 03:48 log.0000000954

-rw------- 1 cyrus mail 10485760 Feb 10 03:48 log.0000000962
a new one every day. This is not sustainable on this little server.
I'm not sure if cyrus itself is supposed to clean these up?
My cyrus.conf is :
# standard standalone server implementation
START {
# do not delete this entry!
recover cmd="ctl_cyrusdb -r"
# this is only necessary if using idled for IMAP IDLE
# idled cmd="idled"
}
# UNIX sockets start with a slash and are put into /var/imap/socket
SERVICES {
# add or remove based on preferences
imap cmd="imapd" listen="localhost:imap" prefork=0
imaps cmd="imapd -s" listen="imaps" prefork=0
pop3 cmd="pop3d" listen="pop3" prefork=0
pop3s cmd="pop3d -s" listen="pop3s" prefork=0
#sieve cmd="timsieved" listen="sieve" prefork=0
# these are only necessary if receiving/exporting usenet via NNTP
# nntp cmd="nntpd" listen="nntp" prefork=0
# nntps cmd="nntpd -s" listen="nntps" prefork=0
# at least one LMTP is required for delivery
# lmtp cmd="lmtpd" listen="lmtp" prefork=0
lmtpunix cmd="lmtpd" listen="/var/imap/socket/lmtp" prefork=0
# this is only necessary if using notifications
# notify cmd="notifyd" listen="/var/imap/socket/notify"
proto="udp" prefo
rk=1
# Carl, 20140806
smmapd cmd="smmapd" listen="/var/imap/socket/smmapd" prefork=1
}
EVENTS {
# this is required
checkpoint cmd="ctl_cyrusdb -c" period=30
# this is only necessary if using duplicate delivery suppression,
# Sieve or NNTP
delprune cmd="cyr_expire -E 3" at=0400
# this is only necessary if caching TLS sessions
tlsprune cmd="tls_prune" at=0400
}
Have I done something wrong, config-wise? Or is there a way to safely
purge these db log files?
Thank you!
Carl
