Hi all. I'm a cyrus newbie/novice. I rebooted my mailserver this morning, and now cyrus is dead. This is my mailserver at home so it is not critical, but my personal mail is kaput until I get this fixed.
After the system rebooted the disk started spinning like mad ... which turned out to be syslog dumping tons of log messages from cyrus. The following lines are repeated hundreds and hundreds of times: Oct 17 13:28:45 o-ren master[12647]: about to exec /usr/lib/cyrus/imapd Oct 17 13:28:45 o-ren imap[12647]: executed Oct 17 13:28:45 o-ren imap[12647]: skiplist: invalid magic header: /var/imap/mailboxes.db Oct 17 13:28:45 o-ren imap[12647]: DBERROR: opening /var/imap/mailboxes.db: cyrusdb error Oct 17 13:28:45 o-ren imap[12647]: Fatal error: can't read mailboxes file Oct 17 13:28:45 o-ren master[10840]: process 12647 exited, status 75 Oct 17 13:28:45 o-ren master[10840]: service imap pid 12647 in READY state: terminated abnormally I found a note here: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/archive/message.php?mailbox=archive.info-cyrus&msg=28119 with a fix, but that fix is not working for me.
