Emergancy..... db4: PANIC: fatal region error

[Robert Scussel]

I don't know how many users you have, and there might be a cyrus utility 
for this, I can't recall. The quick and dirty fix is something along the 
lines of

for i in `sudo -u cyrus ./ctl_mboxlist -d  | awk -F'\t' '{print $1}' | 
awk -F'.' '{print $2}' | uniq`; do find /var/spool/cyrus -type d -name 
$i | xargs mv /var/spool/imap/user/$i; done

This will dump your mailbox to get the list of users, if you have a list 
or whatever, you can use that as well, this just meant as an example. I 
would suggest not using the mv command the first time to make sure that 
it works. This works on my system, no warantees :)
