Hello all... In my quest to sort out the DB errors (see the 'What happened to my db/ ?' thread) I've been having a bit of trouble figuring out exactally what all the DBs are. I was hoping that someone who could look at what I've got so far and give me a headsup on any errors and answer a few (hopefully) quick questions.....
1) duplicates Configured with: --with-duplicate-db=DB Location: /var/imap/deliver.db Description: Specifies which database backend to use for the duplicate delivery database. 2) mboxlist Configured with: --with-mboxlist-db=DB Location: /var/imap/mailbox.db Description: Specifies which database backend to use for the mailbox list. (More here: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/download/imapd/overview.html#recoverymbox) 3) tls db Configured with: --with-tls-db=DB Location: /var/imap/tls_sessions.db Description: Specifies which database backend to use for the TLS cache. 4) seen db Configured with: --with-seen-db=DB Location: /var/imap/user/u/user-name.seen Description: Specifies which database backend to use for the seen state. 5) subscriptions db Configured with: --with-subs-db=DB Location: /var/imap/user/u/user-name.sub Description: Specifies which database backend to use for the subscriptions list. Now there are two lots of data that do not appear to be covered in the above list, db/ and the mailbox/cyrus.(header|index|cache|seen). What is db/? I can't figure out what exactally it does or what you use to configure it at compile time. I guess it's part of mailboxs.db in some way but I would love a better answer.... The mailbox/cyrus.* files are fairly well explained here: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/download/imapd/overview.html#recoverymboxdir But I can't figure out what there format is or how it's configured..... is it native to cyrus? Why is the reconstruct command in the doc (http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/download/imapd/overview.html#recoverymbox) marked as 'NOTE: CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE'? What versions does that apply to? And my final question is about the seen dbs. Each user has their own seen db and a cyrus.seen in every mailbox. Are the cyrus.seen files just a backup to reconstruct the /var/imap/user/u/user-name.seen? Many thanks for the help already given and hopefully for the answers coming ;) Nick
