But I can recall where > it was. Perhaps it should be done automatically on upgrades. Somewhere... yes, that's exactly the state of cyrus documentation. On XFER the cyrus.squat file is ignored/dropped and rebuilt at the next run. That's ok so far. But the point is that 2.5 promised an upgrade path without IO havoc like 2.3->2.4 which needed an "on first access" reconstruct. But dropping all squat DBs and rebuilding them is exact the same nightmare again. cyrus.squat has a version number inside. Making it incompatible while keeping the same version is simply stupid and a bug.
