I'm sorry to push this topic continuously because I appreciate all your hard work (and Ellies as well) on cyrus very much! We had a quite hard time keeping our infrastructure operational after doing the final step upgrading our frontends to 2.5. Seeing others having the same stress should be quite a warning for people thinking about an upgrade. Since Deniss has these troubles with skiplist as well on 2.5 it looks like the size triggers it. twoskip seems to perform even worse if mailboxes.db reaches a certain size, or it's only the size penalty which hits twoskip earlier. 150-200 MB seems critical for locking issues. > https://blog.fastmail.com/2015/12/05/reverse-acls-making-imap-list-fast/ I read about them some time ago in the 3.0.0-beta changelog. Hopefully we're on a stable cyrus release supporting it before reaching the critical size for skiplist;-) > But to get there, we need to solve reverse ACLs for groups.

So, 2.5 wont get them anyway I guess;-) Greetings, Wolfgang -- Wolfgang Breyha <wbreyha@xxxxxxx> | http://www.blafasel.at/ Vienna University Computer Center | Austria ---- 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
