Yes, but those transactions have already been commited, right? At least in my case db_archive shows no log files in use. > to happen is that the mailbox in question needs to be removed from the > BDB environment so we don't try to recover it.

One catch is that cyrus has to be running so that a checkpoint can be made. Which brings me to the next question, when cyrus is cleanly shut down, does it perform a checkpoint? If not, then perhaps this should be added to the shutdown scripts. If I run "db_archive" in the DB environment, I get no log files listed, which seems to indicate that all transactions have already been commited. Perhaps just a coincidence in my very low traffic environment? --- Home Page: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyruswiki.andrew.cmu.edu List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
