sync client bailing out

[F. Rossetti]

I am running two cyrus 2.3.7 servers with replication. The replica server
crashed, and I fsck'd the /var/imap/* and /var/spool/imap/* partition
finding some errors.

Now everything seems to have come back up but the replication still has
problems. The client process on the master bails out frequently with these
errors in the log:

Sep 12 11:55:00 mail sync_client[27523]: MAILBOX user.a^giammarchi-cet Sep
12 11:55:00 mail sync_client[27523]: MAILBOX user.serleo Sep 12 11:55:00

*** But this mailbox already esists on the replica as user.a^giammarchi !!

Sep 12 11:55:00 mail sync_client[27523]: Error in do_sync(): bailing out!

This is the master server, the only strange thing reported in the replica is
this UID warning:


Sep 12 11:59:09 lx2 syncserver[4925]: cmd_status_work_sub(): UIDs out of
order!
Sep 12 11:59:15 lx2 last message repeated 2 times Sep 12 11:59:15 lx2
syncserver[4925]: Unlocked

The sync_client process (is it normal to have always two of them running ?)
bails out after a few minutes or almost immediately. I've put up a script to
restart and I am trying to delete the mailboxes which seem to be erroneosly
promoted to user, but the problem remains. Should I completely reset the
replica server ? How ?
