db files in /var/spool/imap/db ...

[Marc G. Fournier]

how does this:

hub# strings __db.004|less
g>_|
g>_|
g>_|
g>_|
g>_|
g>_|
hub#

create a 17Meg file:

hub# ls -lt
total 18769
-rw-------  1 cyrus  mail  17063936 Oct 29 15:03 __db.004

the whole directory looks like:

hub# ls -lt
total 18777
-rw-------  1 cyrus  mail  17063936 Oct 29 15:05 __db.004
-rw-------  1 cyrus  mail    270336 Oct 29 15:05 __db.002
-rw-------  1 cyrus  mail     98304 Oct 29 15:05 __db.003
-rw-------  1 cyrus  mail      8192 Oct 29 15:05 __db.001
-rw-------  1 cyrus  mail     32768 Oct 29 15:05 __db.005
-rw-------  1 cyrus  mail   7373512 Oct 29 15:05 log.0000000149
