Actually we get very little logged on our mupdate master, just logins, checkpointing notices etc, nothing about the work done to maintain folder state. It's one of the reasons we feel so in the dark with this issue. On Sat, 7 Jun 2014, Wesley Craig wrote: > On 07 Jun 2014, at 14:49, Gavin Gray

yes it looks like for some reason the mupdate procedure that happens within the murder upon folder creation is getting held up for some reason with regard to the 2.4 frontend. but we don't know why or how to correct it. thanks for getting back to us, Quoting Andrew Morgan on Thu, 5 Jun 2014 11

All we see is the request from the client to subscrobe to the newly created folder failing for the reason that, the mailbox does not exist. we get this from logging the client's imap session. thanks, Gavin Quoting Dave McMurtrie on Thu, 5 Jun 2014 16:18:16 +: > On Thu, 2014-06-05 at 16:

So I'm going to attach the cyrus metadata files for a folder that behaved the way I am describing having been xfer'd between 2.3.15 and 2.4.17. these are the files from the source server ie the 2.3.15 backend. If anyone with far deeper knowledge of cyrus than we do, could have a look to see if

Thanks Ken, We have tried the -G and -R options to no avail. I've begun to experiment with your seen database idea. It would be nice to discover the reason for the corruption. We still don't even know whether the problem was there before the xfer or if it's a result of the xfer process. Obvious

Hi Gavin, Have you tried running reconstruct with the -G and/or -R options to see if they fix the corruption without having to remove cyrus.index? Another option is to place a copy of the user's .seen file from the 2.3 machine on the 2.4 machine prior to removing cyrus.index and reconstructing

Any help with this would be much appreciated. We keep coming across folders that once they have been migrated seem to have corrupt cyrus.index files. The only way to fix them is to remove the files and do a reconstruct. This is not a workable solution from our users point of view as is sets all
