Cyrus 2.4.6: RENAME/XFER problems

[Jukka Huhta]

Hello list,

I've tried to test Cyrus-imapd 2.4.6 (v2.4.6-Invoca-RPM-2.4.6-0.9,
thanks, Simon!) in a test environment with no problems until I tried
moving user mailboxes to different partitions.

In 2.3.16, the procedure works almost but replication is broken if you
move a user to a different spool on a same backend (but works when
using different backend).

In 2.4.6, every renm/xfer command I can come up with in cyradm fails
somehow. Below is my test mailbox and failed commands attached with
their respective log entries. In particular, the "Mailbox name too
long" error msg is a bit funny. Why is it trying to find
socket/mupdate.target in the first place as I'm using standard murder?

Now, what do you suggest? How should I move half of my ~50000 user
mailboxes to 24 newly created 500G partitions? Is there a bug in my
syntax/configuration or in Cyrus/cyradm?

BTW, according to the cyradm's help, one shouldn't be able to give the
backend hostname at all, see:
cyradm> help renm
renm, alias for renamemailbox [--partition partition] oldname newname [partition]
    rename (and optionally relocate) mailbox

That is somewhat contradictory to what we see below (getaddrinfo).


Here's some info about our (test) config:
- mupdate_config: standard
- frontend: m2v1t.mappi.helsinki.fi
- mupdate master: lcluster.mappi.helsinki.fi
- backends: m2v2t.mappi.helsinki.fi & m2v3t.mappi.helsinki.fi
- spool partitions: m2v2t, m2v2t-b & m2v3t, m2v3t-b accordingly
- running on clustered CentOS 5.5
