Simon,
Bron,


Does the quota bug expose itself independently of the underlying quota
database structure ?
I'm running a Cyrus 2.2 and 2.3 server since 2006 for tens of thousands
of users and we "regularly" rename top level mailboxes, run reconstruct
and quota -f also on other occasions. Never ran into the bug.
Quotalegacy format (= one file per user).
