Hi all,
I upgraded to Debian Bookworm today and with this to cyrus 3.6.1
The upgrade went without error messages, but after upgrade, new
mailboxes were created under mail/uuid/...
autocreateinbox: User XXX, INBOX was successfully created
of course, without any mail in it. I added
mailbox_legacy_dirs: yes
autocreate_quota: -1
autocreate_post: 0
and the autocreate of empty mailboxes stopped.
Now I get
cyrus/ imaps[1366]: IOERROR: opening index failed: mailbox=<user.XXX>
error=<System I/O error> syserror=<No such file or directory>
func=<mailbox_open_advanced>
It looks like it migrated something but not the mails and mailbox dbs:
cyrus@mail:~$ /usr/lib/cyrus/bin/relocate_by_id -n -u XXX
XXX: user already relocated
Hi,
I suspect that maybe what happened here is that the mailboxes were auto
created and then relocate_by_id failed as the mailboxes were auto
created with the new storage system (sans emails obv). So it would seem
that the Debian upgrade script isn't doing the "right thing"(tm).
Whether that is due to bugs in the Debian packaging or Cyrus (for
example an issue with ctl_cyrusdb) is not as clear.
The Cyrus documentation (relnotes-3-6-0-beta1-storage-changes) says that
the mailboxes.db will be upgraded (for both styles) at startup or when
"ctl_cyrusdb -r" is run manually. The single sentence in the release
notes is short on details though as to how this happens.
Also, the "mailbox_legacy_dirs" option (according to the docs) only
affects newly created mailboxes.
A quick question; did you have auto create turned on before you
upgraded? I'm wondering if having auto create turned on while upgrading
may have caused the problem; i.e. creating new empty mailboxes because
it couldn't find the mailboxes because they were using the old style of
storage. If so the Debian / cyrus upgrade script should probably detect
this and abort the upgrade or turn off auto create while upgrading.
