Never-ending bug with recontruct - MISSING FOLDERS
Dear all, I think I've posted already here about this some years ago about this problem and I'm disappointed that cyrus reconstruct seems to still have the same bug. Although last time I was able to circumvent it, this time I am left out without any solution, and my users are very angry now !!! Let me explain : I have to switch to a new server and moved the cyrus mailboxes on it. Most of the migration is working, but some folders are missing !!! In fact all data is on the disk, but cyrus reconstruct decided (still this absolutely STUPID bug) do ignore folders containing only subfolders !!! Example : Archives/ (contains messages) will be included Archives/2009/ (contains messages) will be included Archives/2010/ (contains folders) WILL NOT BE INCLUDED !!! AND : Archives/2010/janjun/ (contains messages) IS NOT INCLUDED Archives/2010/juldec/ (contains messages) IS NOT INCLUDED In my example, all 2010 email archives are missing !!! I tried everything I think : 1. cyradm reconstruct user.psmith.archives.2...@domain.com 2. delete cyrus.header and restart cyrus 3. ??? Any help would be greatly appreciated !

I tried everything I think : 1. cyradm reconstruct user.psmith.archives.2...@domain.com Have you tried appending '-r' to this command, to indicate the reconstruct should be performed recursively? 2. delete cyrus.header and restart cyrus Have you executed reconstruct from the command-line as opposed to through the 'cyradm' utility? Please see the output of 'man -k reconstruct' for the appropriate man page on your platform. -- Kind regards, Jeroen van Meeuwen -- Senior Engineer, Kolab Systems AG e: vanmeeuwen at kolabsys.com t: +44 144 340 9500 m: +44 74 2516 3817 w: http://www.kolabsys.com pgp: 9342 BF08 Cyrus Home Page: http://www.cyrusimap.org/ List Archives/Info: http://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/pipermail/info-cyrus/

I tried everything I think : 1. cyradm reconstruct user.psmith.archives.2...@domain.com Have you tried appending '-r' to this command, to indicate the reconstruct should be performed recursively? Yes, same problem. 2. delete cyrus.header and restart cyrus Have you executed reconstruct from the command-line as opposed to through the 'cyradm' utility? Please see the output of 'man -k reconstruct' for the appropriate man page on your platform. Yes absolutely I launched reconstruct -rf but reconstruct is ignoring folders that only contains subfolders but no messages ! So what I did is now to add one file (message copied from elsewhere) in these folders but now I don't find a solution to make cyrus rescan these folders ?

So, either try a current version, which is 2.4.11, or ask your distributor to backport fixes if they exist.

Regards, Simon The fix itself won't be _too_ complex to backport, I suspect, but it will be fresh coding, because reconstruct changed pretty massively between 2.3 and 2.4. So it's not going to be a fun job for someone. Also, 2.3.7 is ancient even by 2.3 standards. It still has a pretty buggy skiplist implementation (maybe they backported fixes for that, I don't know) Bron.
