Moving from 2.4.17 (CentOS 7) to 3.0.7 (RHEL 8)

Hi list,

I'm in process of running up a new server to migrate from 2.4.17 to a  
new server running 3.0.7.

I've got saslauthd all running OK, and have the cyrus-imapd server up  
and running with what I can see are the options I need (from reading  
combination of old server's config files and the man pages on the new  
server). I've also looked through the Upgrade documentation.

At this stage I am setting up the server, not yet migrating data.

I have a couple of questions:

1. I had two squatter EVENTS setup in the old server like this:
    squatter  cmd="/usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/squatter" period=1440
    squatter1 cmd="/usr/bin/ionice -c idle  
/usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/squatter -s" period=180

This server has about 16GB mail across all users, so it's not big...

I've set a rolling squatter as a daemon in cyrus.conf:

   DAEMON {
    # this is only necessary if using idled for IMAP IDLE
    idled         cmd="idled"
   # run a rolling squatter using the default sync_log channel "squatter"
    squatter cmd="squatter -R"
   }

...with imapd.conf:

## Sync Log ##

sync_log:                1
sync_log_channels:       “”

Is that OK?

2. As I will be moving existing mailboxes and structures which are  
read by webmail systems which are sensitive to the mailbox namespace,  
I have set altnamespace: 0... I assume that will give me the same  
behaviour as before?

3. I get this on each service restart:

Mar 14 18:43:06 emp87 cyrus/ctl_cyrusdb[10080]: skiplist: clean  
shutdown file missing, updating recovery stamp
Mar 14 18:43:06 emp87 cyrus/ctl_cyrusdb[10080]: recovering cyrus databases
Mar 14 18:43:06 emp87 cyrus/ctl_cyrusdb[10080]: done recovering cyrus  
databases

Is that to be expected?

Possibly more queries to come :)

Thanks
Simon.
