Can I safely remove all of '/sync./*' and start the replication again? -
I had a bit of fun & games getting some 2.5.7 servers up (upgraded from
2.4), and ended up doing a few `reconstruct -rfGO' runs on them, and
forcing replication before it settled down.
The 'master' has already had a 'reconstruct -V max' run on it (the original
data is a snapshot from a 2.4 server). That seemed to upgrade everything OK
(with the service down). The mail seems ok (I've had some code traverse the
bulk of the mailboxes - and they all open, and have content in with no
errors logged).
I can't answer your other questions, but deleting those directories is
fine. The only one(s) possible in use are those whose name matches the
PID of a running sync_server process. Perhaps best then to shut cyrus
down on the replica, delete everything as above, then restart. And maybe
run a reconstruct or two, on server and replica.
Ok, I'll shut it down and remove the files. The sync_server process is dead
anyway at this point. I'm not overly happy about the 1.5m files in there
(seems excessive).
I'll try another sync once they're gone - failing that I'll run a few
reconstructs against the master - and re-post if I still run into issues
(And it was all going so well :)
