Hi Igor, everyone,

Trying to run 'ctl_cyrusdb -r' takes a few minutes but aborts with a
coredump. When I try to start Cyrus, it tries to recover the database
(but coredumps), then starts copying all these 10MB logfiles into
db.backup and we run out of diskspace again.
change directory to /var/imap before you run ctl_cyrusdb -r:
cd /var/imap
ctl_cyrusdb -r
But no, that doesn't make a difference, I did it from /var/imap the
first time I tried, too.
I wonder if your db env is corrupt. stop cyrus server and
cd /var/imap
db_recover
ctl_cyrusdb -r
If that does not work and if you use skiplist for the mailboxes db, you
can remove the contents of /var/imap/db and all berkeley dbs (deliver,
annotate, etc) and restart cyrus-imap.
Yes, the mailboxes.db is a skiplist.
In /var/imap I have these files:
-rw------- 1 cyrus mail 144 Sep 30 18:28 annotations.db
-rw------- 1 cyrus mail 1629672 Oct 6 19:50 core
drwxr-x--- 2 cyrus mail 3584 Oct 6 19:50 db (863MB in here)
drwx------ 2 cyrus mail 1536 Oct 6 17:00 db.backup1 (580MB
in here)
drwx------ 2 cyrus mail 512 Oct 6 16:30 db.backup2 (2kb in
here)
-rw------- 1 cyrus mail 1515520 Oct 6 16:28 deliver.db
drwxr-x--- 2 cyrus mail 512 Aug 13 2004 log
-rw------- 1 cyrus mail 5016276 Oct 6 16:06 mailboxes.db

Question: What database exactl is in /var/imap/db? I understand that it
gets backed up to db.backup1/db.backup2, but am not sure what it
contains, and what the consequences of deleting it are... what will my
users be missing if I do? Deleting tls_sessions and deliver.db is ok,
but what is in annotations.db, is that safe to remove to? Is it neccesary?
Regards, Paul Boven.
