Thanks to Edward Rudd and Simon Matter, who helped sort this out.
First:
--with-mboxlist-db=skiplist - no difference.
No, I realized that when I looked into the configure file. The funny thing is, that I get not complaints fromThis is no longer supported in cyrus 2.2.x dB formats are specified only in the configuration file.
./configure when I set this parameter - most configure files do not accept illegal params.
That explains why I looked almost all over the world without finding cvt_cyrusdb_all. I wasYou need to run cvt_cyrusdb_all after changing the configuration.
The cvt_cyrusdb_all script is only part of my cyrus-imapd rpms, it's not part of the cyrus-imapd distribution or other packaged distributions.
IIRC there is another possible problem with Berkeley db logs still beeing around after a conversion to skiplist. In that case I think the files in db/ can be deleted before starting cyrus-imapd. However, always be sure to keep backups of all files in a safe place.
Simon
rather puzzled about it, since I (from Edward Rudds mail) got the impression, that it was
somehow included in the CMU distro. However, I learned that quite a lot of people were
helped significantly by means of that script. Simon, can we not persuade you to make the
script (and perhaps a short readme or a man page) avaliable somewhere ? TIA !
And now to the point: Simon was rigth about the Berkeley db logs. After converting
mailboxes.db I simply renamed the db/ directory and created a new one with the same
rigths, and then skiplist took over with no problems whatsoever. The general idea was
to get rid of Berkeley, which has brougth too many "interesting" experiences over the
years, and now I finally got there. Thanks a lot, guys !
