ctl_cyrusdb -r takes too long

[Jatin Nansi]

Hi,

I have a cyrus IMAP system here which is taking way too long to start 
up, stopping just at ctl_cyrusdb -r. There does not seem to be any 
activity going on, but ctl_cyrusdb just doesnot exit.

I am running cyrus-imapd-2.1.8 on a redhat 7.3 system. The backend 
database is DB3.

I need some directions on what could be wrong and where ? Is it normal 
for ctl_cyrusdb -r to take as much as 1 hr (and still running) to
finish ?
