Hi everyone,
I've got a 2.2.2-beta-installation that has started to give us some headaches: every few days, it will first get 'slow' (according to complaints from the customer) and then it will stop listening to the LMTP socket and IMAP port, and things just hang. I'm also finding coredumps from mailbox_expunge[1] in several mailboxes.
We've decided our best course of action would be to upgrade the customer to 2.2.8 which we have running elsewhere already. I've done a first test-migration, setting up a 2.2.2-beta system and then removing the Cyrus Imap binaries and installing the 2.2.8-package on it. Seemed to work just great.
Which brings me to my main question: Are there any things I need to worry about when doing such an upgrade? Do I need to take care of possible mailbox-corruption first, and if so, how? Any chance that some DBs have changed type between 2.2.2-Beta and 2.2.8?
Regards, Paul Boven.
