IOERROR: conversations_audit on store

[Frederik Himpe]

I am using Cyrus 3.2.2 on Debian Buster 10 (package from buster-
backports).

I am having lots of errors similar to these in the logs:

cyrus/imaps[24052]: IOERROR: conversations_audit on store: /var/lib/cyrus/user/e/example.conversations Bff62cd0852db22e1 0 (1452110 1 0 0 () ((1 1452109 1 1 0)) () foobar. 0 () 1452109)

The same problem happend with Cyrus 3.0.x and seems to happen often for
specific users, usually with big mailboxes (one of them 40GB+). When
upgrading to 3.2.2, I ran

reconstruct -V max
ctl_conversationsdb -b -r
quota -f
dav_reconstruct -a

as per the instructions given in the documentation.


/var/lib/cyrus and /var/spool/cyrus are on ext4, Linux kernel at this
moment is 5.4.48 (also happend with different kernels).

Any idea what is going wrong?
