Hi,
Quoting Karl Pielorz via Cyrus-devel <cyrus-devel@lists.andrew.cmu.edu>:
Hi,
We've upgraded a number of Cyrus servers through the years - we're
currently running 2.5.x.
The other day I noticed on a couple of servers we have:
/vol/imap/spool/sync.
This directory hasn't been touched in years - but has a number of
sub-dirs (all numbers) - that all contain messages (again, created
years ago).
Am I safe to remove this directory?
We also have:
/vol/imap/sync
Which periodically has files created in it (the server is sync'ing
to a another machine - so that's expected).
But I can't tell if 'vol/imap/sync' is a replacement [now, after
upgrades] for 'vol/imap/spool/sync.' - i.e. if the 'sync.' directory
can either be cleared out (and left), or just got rid of all together.
AFAIK the sync. folder is used by the sync_server (receiving side of
the syncronisation)
as tmp storage for the incomming mails/data. The the number (subfolder
name) is the pid
of sync_server process.
On clean shutdown these files/folders should be clenad up, but if the
server crashes
there might be some old files leftover.
IHMO it should be safe to delete the folders on the active server
(where the sync_client is running)
and old folders where the corresponding process is nor running any
more on the receiving (sync_server)
side.
