Javier,


I am in the middle of preparations for a Cyrus migration myself (50 million
messages in 475,000 mailboxes, totalling more than 5 Terabyte of e-mail)
but I would expect the destination directory to be certainly empty, if not
non-existing. I have little time to test this on my Cyrus 2.3 environment,
however.

I noticed your destination partition bearing a 'celerra' name component.
Is this an NFS mount or an iSCSI block device 'attach' on your Cyrus server ?
