Hi. I migrated a old cyrus-2.1 to a new server with cyrus-2.2.
Hi. Adam, thank you very much for answering me.
You do realize you've migrated from a fossilized version of Cyrus to
an antique version of Cyrus?
Hah hah, I am aware. I just thought the best way to upgrade to a
recent version was to do it step by step. The first one was done
with no short of pain. Fortunately cyrus is well enginereed inside
so you can always relay in reconstructing and recreating the .db.
The seen flags from the INBOX and user subfolders seem fine but
all the messages from the shared folders are unseen.
In 2.3.x these are in {metadatadir}/user/{user} either that or the
equivalent hashed value. But I think these same seen files are used
for any the seen state of any folder provided shared-seen-state isn't
enabled on the folder [does 2.2.x even support shared seen state?].
I don't have shared state and I don't think 2.2 supports it. I'm
fine with that.
Where are the old server 2.1 seen databases for shared folders ?
How can I dump it to cyrus-2.2 ?
It looks like they are not in /var/lib/cyrus/user/username.seen.
Yes, that seems correct.
Any hints ? thank you very much.
Did you change how namespaces are handled when you upgraded? Just a
Yes I did, I added partitions.
guess. Cyrus 2.1.x is *SO OLD* I have only the vaguest memories how
to admin that - it is quite a different [and in every way inferior]
beast than the very nice 2.3 and 2.4 editions.
So maybe the shared folder '.seens' vanished somewhere when
partitions were added. Maybe I could dump the seen database
with ctl_something and restore it again ? Any other clues
would be very appreciated.
