I am moving from an old style ESYS (based on a 1.x version of CMU) to the latest and greatest Cyrus 2.2.3 on a new box with a single 140GB mirrored partition to hold all the mail spools. On the system I'm upgrading from, we had multiple partitions. Since I am merging the mail into a single partition, I wrote a quick and dirty perl script to replace the various partition declarations in the mailboxes file with the dingle partition, "default". I took that output and fed it into ctl_mboxlist -u to create the new mailboxes database.
However, when I attempt to do a reconstruct -r on a hierarchy of user mailboxes, about half the mailboxes fail with the message: "Mailbox has an invalid format". I can create a new mailbox and then from a unix shell, move all the files into the new box and do a reconstruct on that, and it works fine. Next I did a ctl_mboxlist -d and compared the entry for a mailbox that failed to reconstruct with one that succeeded, and everything looks the way I expect it to.
Any ideas as to what might be wrong will be most appreciated.
Thanks, Rob
