sudo -u cyrus /usr/local/cyrus/sbin/ctl_mboxlist -u -f
/var/spool/imap/mailboxes.db.txt on the new
and all I get is a blank line and no indication in ps that the task
is consuming any cpu.
If I press <cr> I see this:
line 1: no partition found
line 2: no partition found
line 3: no partition found
. . .
There is only one partition on both systems and it is
'/var/spool/imap' on both.
I have also tried the method suggested on the 3.0.6 documentation
respecting upgrading and use rsync to move over mailboxes.db. In each
case I cannot get reconstruct to run and upgrade or rebuild the mail
store on the new service.
# sudo -u cyrus /usr/local/cyrus/sbin/reconstruct -r -f -V *
#
I get an immediate empty return.
I know that there exist physical mailboxes on the server that cyradm
does not report. I know that these mailboxes exist on the old server
and therefore I infer are present in mailboxess.db.
How do I get the contents of the old mailboxes.db file into the new so
that reconstruct will run?
Pretty sure you are using -f incorrectly. Try this:
sudo -u cyrus /usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/ctl_mboxlist -d >
/var/spool/imap/mailboxes.db.txt
on the old followed by a transfer of /var/spool/imap/mailboxes.db.txt
to the new followed by:
sudo -u cyrus /usr/local/cyrus/sbin/ctl_mboxlist -u <
/var/spool/imap/mailboxes.db.txt
on the new
