Hi All - I poked around the cyrus website/wiki for a while, and did a
few google searches - but unfortunately, I haven't been able to get any
clear idea of how to fix this.
My root filesystem filled up, then the machine was powercycled, thanks
to my colo provider having a power problem. Now Cyrus-IMAPD fails to
start. I'm getting the following errors in the /var/lib/imap/rpm/ log
file when I try and start up the cyrus-imapd daemon.
you are using /var/lib/imap/sieve as your sieve directory.
fatal error: can't open old database
Converting from /var/lib/imap/mailboxes.db (berkeley) to
/var/lib/imap/mailboxes.db.flat (flat)
ERROR: unable to convert /var/lib/imap/mailboxes.db from berkeley to flat
fatal error: can't open old database
Converting from /var/lib/imap/annotations.db (berkeley) to
/var/lib/imap/annotations.db.flat (flat)
ERROR: unable to convert /var/lib/imap/annotations.db from berkeley to flat
Please note that this server has been up and running for a couple of
years without problems. I was not converting mailbox formats, or
anything weird like that. It was up and in normal production operations.
I was also getting errors with the users/X/*.seen etc... files, and
moved those aside - since I think I'll only lose stuff I don't mind losing?
In any case - I freed up space on the root filesystem - but this is
eluding me. Any pointers would be ***GREATLY*** appreciated, as I now
have about 12 domains with 50 users down. Thank you a ton in advance.
