I'll be running a test conversion on a duplicate DB today and will
report back.
I'm wondering if there isn't a better way to run the conversion.
Perhaps a model like this:
1) Create NEW DB with 2.2 schema
2) Upgrade daemons. stop 2.0
3) Copy minimal tables (at least users/alias/mailboxes) to new DB
4) Change config to use new DB
5) start 2.2
6) Import remaining tables
This would allow nearly continuous operation with the only drawback
being access to emails received prior to upgrade being delayed until
imported.
The only other issue is that changes made to the old mailstore during
the conversion time will be lost also (IMAP moving messages or marking
them read etc..) this isn't the end of the world and might be better
than leaving your users out in the cold for a few hours, but you should
be aware of it.
