Hi all,
I am tasked to migrate an old cyrus 2.3.x CentOS6 installation to a
new CentOS8 server with cyrus 3.0.7.
I'm following the instructions at
https://cyrusimap.org/imap/download/upgrade.html (compresive of
berkeley db format change to skiplist) and all is mostly working,
except for some important per-user databases: seen, subscription and
sieve.
The issue basically seems one of a different file names, revolving
around using "." (dot) instead of "^" (circumflex). For example, the
old cyrus installation has the following per-user database structure:
[root@ceres imap]# cd /var/lib/imap; find -iname "*^*" | grep danti
./sieve/domain/a/assyoma.it/g/g^danti
./domain/a/assyoma.it/user/g/g^danti.seen
./domain/a/assyoma.it/user/g/g^danti.sub
./domain/a/assyoma.it/quota/g/user.g^danti
However the new installation simply ignores the above files, creating
*new* empty files with "." (dot) separator, except for the quota
(which is correctly understand and no new file was created). This
means I lose all information about subscribed folder, seen mails and
sive filtering.
A very simple workaround seems to soft-link the dot-enabled files with
the circumflex ones, ie: "cd ./domain/a/assyoma.it/user/g/; ln -s
g^danti.seen g.danti.seen"
I wonder if this is the right thing to do, or if I am missing
something. Please also consider that on the old server I already had
"unixhierarchysep: 1", matching the new 3.x default. Anyway, flipping
that option has no effect on how cyrus names the above files.
Any suggestion to solve this problem?
Thanks.
Hi all,
any idea/suggestion/etc?
I can't find any .seen files in my test setup on CentOS 8 and not using
sieve. But for .sub I see what you are seeing in file name but contents
of the sub file has the ^ and it does work as expected.
Not using virtualdomains on my end.
Only thing I can think of is that a different config file is actually
being used?
Thanks.
