Hi Igor, everyone,

Trying to run 'ctl_cyrusdb -r' takes a few minutes but aborts with a

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

Question: What database exactl is in /var/imap/db?
This is berkeley db env. See http://www.sleepycat.com/docs/index.html for
more.
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?
nothing. Duplicate suppression will not be as effective initialy.
Deleting tls_sessions and deliver.db is ok, but what is in
annotations.db, is that safe to remove to? Is it neccesary?
You do not use annotations, so it is safe to delete as well.
Have you trid to run db_recover first? You need to do all of this while
cyrus is stopped.
