Dear all, on one my Cyrus imapd installations, I am running out of disk space. Solving the problem the right way will take some days, so I decided to delete about 100,000 messages as a first measure (those messages definitely don't need to be kept any longer). I have used Thunderbird to delete those messages (of course, I have not moved them to trash, but have really deleted them), and afterwards have used cyrdump to verify that they actually are flagged as deleted. To finally free up the space on the disk, I wanted to use cyr_expire. However, the output of /usr/lib/cyrus/bin/cyr_expire -D 60s -E 60s -X 60s -v only told me that nothing happened (last lines of the very lengthy output, empty lines partly omitted): ... cleaning up expunged messages in user.ton cleaning up expunged messages in user.ton.Drafts cleaning up expunged messages in user.ton.Junk cleaning up expunged messages in user.ton.Sent cleaning up expunged messages in user.ton.Trash Expired 0 and expunged 0 out of 293918 messages from 3867 mailboxes Removing deleted mailboxes older than 0.00 days Removed 0 deleted mailboxes Of course, after having deleted the messages in Thunderbird, I have waited several minutes before I have issued the command mentioned above. Does anybody have an idea why cyr_expire refuses to purge the deleted messages? I have to add that no MUA or other client was connected to the server when I have issued the command. The Cyrus imapd version is 3.2.3, the OS is Debian 11.9 / amd64. Thank you very much in advance, Binarus ------------------------------------------ Cyrus: Info Permalink: https://cyrus.topicbox.com/groups/info/Te8b9eb9ffbec5936-M794a327ef08552247031637a Delivery options: https://cyrus.topicbox.com/groups/info/subscription
