Have you checked if the checkpoint are really done. I had that kind of problem twice and each time the ctl_cyrusdb -r take long because it was several days the checkpoint wasn't made. I didn ' solve the problem but i never got it again. I have made a script wich periodically check if the checkpoint is done. If not the cyrus-imapd is restart the night after. As the checkpoint is not made for less than a day it take less than an hour to restart. I think this problem is not related to cyrus but moreover of the db3 database. It s kind of database corruption that prevet the checkpoint to be made. > Hi, > > This is for cyrus gurus and for record: > > ------------------------------------------------------- > Dec 13 20:10:21 mail3 master[4574]: process started > Dec 13 20:10:21 mail3 master[4575]: about to exec /usr/cyrus/bin/ctl_cyrusdb > Dec 13 20:10:21 mail3 ctl_cyrusdb[4575]: recovering cyrus databases > Dec 14 06:15:11 mail3 ctl_cyrusdb[4575]: done recovering cyrus databases > Dec 14 06:15:11 mail3 master[4574]: ready for work > Dec 14 06:15:11 mail3 master[4979]: about to exec /usr/cyrus/bin/ctl_cyrusdb > Dec 14 06:15:11 mail3 master[4982]: about to exec /usr/cyrus/bin/imapd > Dec 14 06:15:11 mail3 master[4983]: about to exec /usr/cyrus/bin/imapd > Dec 14 06:15:11 mail3 master[4984]: about to exec /usr/cyrus/bin/lmtpd > Dec 14 06:15:11 mail3 master[4985]: about to exec /usr/cyrus/bin/lmtpd > Dec 14 06:15:11 mail3 master[4981]: about to exec /usr/cyrus/bin/tls_prune > Dec 14 06:15:11 mail3 master[4980]: about to exec /usr/cyrus/bin/ctl_deliver > Dec 14 06:15:11 mail3 ctl_cyrusdb[4979]: checkpointing cyrus databases > Dec 14 06:15:11 mail3 lmtpunix[4985]: executed > Dec 14 06:15:11 mail3 lmtp[4984]: executed > Dec 14 06:15:11 mail3 tls_prune[4981]: mydelete: starting txn 2147483653 > ------------------------------------------------------- > > Will ctl_cyrusdb -r take 10 hours ?
