All,
maybe that's a similar issue like the one mentioned in [1], nevertheless I started a new thread.
Using public folders:
location = maildir:/var/vmail/public/:LAYOUT=fs:INDEXPVT=%h/.public-indexes
When deleting a public maildir in filesystem (rm -rf ...) and copying back from backup, it's older than the users' dovecot.index.pvt files. (%h is in another directory). Then the following error appears:
Sep 19 07:27:00 mail1 dovecot: imap(dr): Error: /var/vmail/users/dr/.public-indexes/folder1/folder2/dovecot.index.pvt reset, view is now inconsistent
Sometimes even a panic:
Sep 19 07:27:00 mail1 dovecot: imap(dr): Panic: file mail-index-map.c: line 548 (mail_index_map_lookup _seq_range): assertion failed: (first_uid <= last_uid)
When deleting such a maildir via IMAP or doveadm, the error isn't appearing.
Is there anything else, one has to consider, when restoring public maildirs from rsync backup?
TIA!
Chris
