cyrus won't recognize new partition

[Jesse Ross]

Hi all,

I'm having trouble getting my cyrus imapd server (version 2.3.10) to load a
new partition I've created.

I created the partition and the stores./ and user/ directories, and  set
their permissions and ownership to exactly match an already working
partition, as shown below.  Here imap06 is the working partition and imap07
is the new one:

lysine:~ # ls -l /var/spool/imap06 /var/spool/imap07
/var/spool/imap06:
total 32
drwxr-xr-x   5 cyrus mail  4096 Jan  6 15:06 .
drwxr-xr-x  24 root  root  4096 Mar 26 17:21 ..
drwx------   2 cyrus mail 16384 Dec 18 14:31 lost+found
drwxr-xr-x   2 cyrus mail  4096 Mar 30 12:14 stage.
drwx------  56 cyrus mail  4096 Mar 26 18:50 user

/var/spool/imap07:
total 32
drwxr-xr-x   5 cyrus mail  4096 Mar 26 16:00 .
drwxr-xr-x  24 root  root  4096 Mar 26 17:21 ..
drwx------   2 cyrus mail 16384 Mar 26 15:53 lost+found
drwxr-xr-x   2 cyrus mail  4096 Mar 26 16:00 stage.
drwx------   2 cyrus mail  4096 Mar 26 16:53 user


Then I added a line to the imapd.conf:

partition-imap06: /var/spool/imap06
partition-imap07: /var/spool/imap07

and did a full stop/start on the server to ensure there weren't any
listeners lying around with the old config.

However, when I try to create a new mailbox in that partition, or move one
to it, I get errors:

localhost> cm --partition imap07 user.foo
createmailbox: Unknown/invalid partition
localhost> renm --partition imap07 user.sschmoss user.sschmoss
renamemailbox: Operation is not supported on mailbox

Note that the second error message is misleading: I can move the
user.sschmoss mailbox to any partition other than the new one.

Anyone have any ideas?  What am I missing here?

Thanks very much,
