Friends, I'm preparing for a couple of belated 2.5.X to 3.0.X upgrades, and have a question about how necessary it is to run "reconstruct -V max" on the mailstore. Both systems are currently running 2.5.10, and are already at index version 13. However, when performing "reconstruct -V max" on one, on a new 3.0.7 (with patches) system, I see this: The last line can be ignored, as it's really a noop. The "rediscovered - appending" stuff is what catches my eye. However, once the reconstruct is complete, here's what the mailbox looks like:root@newmail:~# /usr/lib/cyrus/bin/reconstruct -V max user/onlight user.onlight uid 1 rediscovered - appending user.onlight uid 2 rediscovered - appending user.onlight uid 3 rediscovered - appending user.onlight uid 4 rediscovered - appending user.onlight uid 5 rediscovered - appending user/onlight Repacked user/onlight to version 13 Note that the <uidlist> doesn't list those low number UIDs which were listed in the reconstruct sequence. In other words, I think this all is harmless, but I'm not sure how much overhead it brings to the whole process.root@newmail:/var/spool/cyrus/mail/I/user/onlight# /usr/lib/cyrus/bin/cyrdump user/onlight Content-Type: multipart/related; boundary="dump-27466-1533049817-351841533" --dump-27466-1533049817-351841533 Content-Type: text/xml IMAP-Dump-Version: 0 <imapdump uniqueid="710a47ca47ebc676"> <mailbox-url>imap://newmail.example.com/user.onlight</mailbox-url> <incremental-uid>0</incremental-uid> <nextuid>15</nextuid> <uidlist>6 7 9 10 11 12 13 14 </uidlist> <flags> ... One of the servers has a total of 70GB of mail, so a complete reconstruct run only takes a short while. The other, however, has over 8TB scattered over >30 partitions. If I could avoid running reconstruct across that whole wad, it'd be great.
