Cannot fix Cyrus quota after server crash-n-restore

We had a bad crash last week. AppleRAID went kaboom.
(don't get me started on the sins of AppleRAID)
After restoring our e-mail from back-up and performing RECONSTRUCT on our IMAP store, things are looking better... Except all user quotas are wrong.
I tried performing this...
% sudo -u cyrus /usr/bin/cyrus/bin/quota -f
But it gives me this attitude:
quota: can't read mailboxes file
Grrrr! I need to get the quota police back on the beat! My users care little how much space their e-mail occupies on our server.
Mac OS X (10.3.9)

I downloaded mailbfr and it was able to repair my quota.
http://osx.topicdesk.com/downloads
I'm pretty sure that the problem I was encountering was due to the fact that I was trying to repair the quota WHILE CYRUS WAS STILL RUNNING.
I'm an idiot.
Can I delete this thread?
No?

POA won't load after Server Crash - 8209 file not found err

Groupwise server crashed recently (apparently from bad RAID controller, which has been replaced). Server is back up an running now (SLES 10 sp3 VM running under XEN, GW 2012 sp1). Have performed a rebuild on Primary Domain and also on single Post Office. MTA loads OK, as does GWIA but POA fails to come up, giving "Path Not Found - 8209 error" message. Path to WPhost.db is correct both in C1 and in the startup file. When loading POA with --show option, I see the aforementioned error and then when I clear that I see on the screen (for a brief moment):
"Rebuilding Guardian Database because of C0221... please stand by"
Then it terminates and screen disappears.
I know that restoring from backup is one option, but that cannot be done until Monday at the earliest and that, of course, is dependent on having good backups. Therefore, I was wondering if there is a way to fix this problem to get the system back up quicker. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
Don
P.S. There is only 1 Primary domain and 1 PO in this small GW system and yes, I know, one should have at least 1 secondary domain.

Thanks for the suggestion, Danita.
OK, I backed up all copies of ngwguard.* from the PO directory. Then, I deleted ngwguard.db and copied the ngwguard.fbk (same exact file size as the deleted ngwguard.db) from ofmsg/guardbak folder to the PO directory as ngwguard.db. Now, I did notice that there was no ngwguard.fbk in the PO directory but instead a ngwguard.dba file, which I left as is. I then started the POA - ./gwpoa --show @po.poa & and now it no longer gives me "Path Not Found" error, but instead it displays:
"opened a file that was not a flaim file C03F"
I click OK on this warning and then POA monitor screen displays for 2 seconds "rebuilding ngwguard.db ..." before it bails and terminates.
So, is it looking more and more like a ngwguard.db problem as opposed to wphost.db? And, I am of course curious why using that backup of ngwguard would not work. In any event, today I will be trying to get backups of wpdomain.db and wphost.db off of tape and perhaps I should restore ngwguard.db as well - this is dependent, of course, on having a good backup that is restorable. If that is not the case, is there an option to rebuild the ngwguard.db file? Thanks.

Quite possibly. You do need both a wphost.db and an ngwguard.db file for the
POA to properly load. There should be two relatively "new" copies in the
system:
ngwguard.fbk in the same folder as the PO, and then the ngwguard.fbk in the
ofmsg/guardbak folder.
Try copying one of these as ngwguard.db in the PO folder, and if that doesn't
work, you will need to go to "backup" to restore.

Recovering NSS pool after server crash

Server crashed the other day - a SLES 11 sp1 XEN host server system with 3 VMs, 2 OES servers (SLES 10 sp3) NSS pools/partitions and 1 pure SLES 11 server. After the crash (due either to power reset or raid controller failure) I had to run fsck to clear up multiple, multiple error conditions on the SLES partitions in order for the servers to reboot. Once booted up, edir and of course NSS would not load. eDir has been recovered and is now running but one of these servers (the one with most all of the data on NSS) is unstable and still has some boot problems. Would the following be a viable option at this point:
1. Take this server out of the tree (if possible)
2. Install fresh, new OES server in a logical drive
3. Join the existing tree
4. Attach the NSS partition to this server
5. Bring up NSS
Any reason why this would not work to get to a stable server that can mount the existing NSS pool/partition? Thanks.
Don

That will work, assuming the new server does not have a volume/pool by the same name already.

How to Restore E-Business Suite after Server Crash?

Hi Hussein Sawwan,
I have a question that will be useful to other members of the community. How do I restore Oracle E-Business Suite R12 after physically loosing the server that hosts the ERP instance?
I have 2 scenarios here:
1-Existing cold backups of the DbTier and AppsTier are available
I have been doing a full backup of the Apps and Inst folders once a week on an external drive.
I have been copying the DB folder (Data + DBMS_ORACLE_HOME) after shutting down the database cleanly once a week on an external drive. Noting that, here the database is in NOARCHIVELOG mode.
2-Existing Hot backups of the Database are available and I have a backup of the Apps and Inst folders (AppsTier)
The database is in archivelog here. I have been doing a full hot backup of the database once a week, an Incremental backup everyday, and a full backup of the archivelogs once a week. All of this to an external drive. The Apps and Inst folders are backed up once a week to an external drive.
Let say something bad happens and we completely loose the physical server. How can I do to restore and recover my Oracle E-Business Suite R12 to a new server?
I know I will have to Install the same OS on the new server, but what happens after that?
Thanks in advance,
Clamarion.

I believe the easiest approach would be:
- Install the same OS on the new servers
- Install OS pre-req software and packages for your EBS instance
- Restore from cold backup (if the crash happened directly after this backup and you haven't lost any data)
OR,
- Restore from hot backup (if the crash happened after your cold backup and you have data that wasn't part of the cold backup)
I assume that no changes to the hostname, domainname, IP Address, port numbers, directory structure, ..etc is taking place in this restore.
Thanks,
Hussein

How to best restore lost User Accounts after server crash?

Our late 2005 G5 froze sometime overnight in the middle of a Time Machine backup. We had to do a hard reboot the next morning.
When OS X Server 10.5.8 came back up, none of our users could log in including our administrator accounts. Unable to log in as root, we used the utility on the installation disc to reset the root password. We were able to log in as root to see that our data and server disks still were intact and navigable. However, we could not see any user accounts defined. We then were able to log in as Server Administrator. Same thing.
We are unfamiliar with restoring anything from Time Machine backups other than user files. Is there a way to restore user accounts from Time Machine and how?
More info: we tried restoring some system files and the library folder but no luck. Not sure how to go about restoring Keychain if that got corrupted...We had about 10 accounts defined before the crash.

Fix xml-structure after keynote crash??

I have prepared lectures in keynote - a months work (265mb). The file crashed - I think during problems caused to lack of memory and harddisk space. I cannot open this file anymore, still all the content is in package content. Is there a way to save (parts of) the file, by repairing the xml - script? Any help is highly appreciated!!!!!!

+"All my files are in a folder structure as album and MPEG-4 files. My documents/my music/iTunes,iTunes Music/group/album/songs."+
You already have the song files in the right place, so you only need to get them added to your library. Use the command *File > Add Folder to Library* and point it to your folder "iTunes Music."

PSE cannot load RAW picture after JIT crash (PSE 11 kann RAW-Foto nicht laden )

In my terrible English :
During a working session with raw pictures PSE 11 crashed after closing the message of JIT - debugging. Restarting PSE the program couldn't load raw pictures instead should a grey picture in the Camera Raw 7.3 process.
No button other than closing the window worked and Camera Raw close with a message ... not enough RAM.
The computer had to be restarted to let PSE 11 working properly.
Is that a known bug or did I make somethiong wrong, could I avoid this?
Thanks for your aptience.
German:
Bei einer RAW-Bildbearbeitung bricht PSE 11 mit JIT-Meldung ab und schließt folgerichtig nach Abbruch des Debuggings. Wenn dann PSE neu gestartet wird, kann es keine RAW- Bilder laden. Camera-RAW 7.3 zeigt eine graue Arbeitsfläche und endet nach dem Schließen mit der Meldung: ... nicht genügend Arbeitsspeicher.
PC muss neu gestartet werden, um PSE wieder ans Arbeiten zu bringen.
Ist dies ein Fehler im Programm oder muss ich irgendetwas machen, um dies zu verhindern?

Thanks for the suggestion. It slows down the twirling crop cursor, but not ieen Expert mode. And there is still a lot of trouble in Quick. It now takes me three or four times as long to work on a picture than it did a month ago. But at least I can make some progress.

New HD after disk crash : how restore original partitioning scheme

Hello, After a mechanical disk crash, american version, I have to replace the hard drive of a X220, american version. Windows 7 Pro was in English.I have two VHD files backup to an external drive, as well as a repair disk.One VHD file is 348 MB and one 199 GB.I could check that the second one contains Windows 7 with software and user files.I assume that the first VHD file is the EFI partition. Because of the mechanical failure there is of course no "recovery partition".I do have a CD of Windows 7 Pro in French if required, but I assume the VHD files should suffice. My question is : how to restore the original partitioning sheme?Which is the size of partitions in bytes and in which order are they? Can someone post the output the partition table (for instance Linux's "gdisk -l" from a bootable CD or USB key) for an X220 ? Thanks a lot.

As I can see you have posted this under Toshiba Product Recovery category although your action has nothing to do with Toshiba recovery installation and, for me, it is Microsoft related issue.
To be honest I didn't understand what happen exactly but somehow I feel everything is messed up.
My advice: if possible back-up all your important data and make clean recovery image installation.
After doing this you will have factory settings and clean preinstalled OS so you will be able to use your notebook without any problems.

Cannot re-install OS after failed Time Machine restore

Ok, so I seem to have run into a problem that I've never encountered before and I don't know how to go about solving it.
I have a first gen intel 20" iMac which had been happily running Snow Leopard. I was attempting to restore to a Time Machine backup and, at about 98% completion (or so) this failed. Spinning beach ball. No progress even after leaving it there overnight. Not knowing what else to do, I restarted.
So now, I get kernel panics whenever I try to restart. I very briefly get the flashing system question mark, then the solid happy apple logo, then the grey screen telling me that I need to retart my Mac - kernel panic.
Ok...I got my SL disc and chucked it in there and figured I would just re-install SL and start from scratch - there's nothing on this computer that I need.
Held down C - no go...same behaviour. Held down S - no luck - same thing. It was at this point that I'm starting to think that the keyboard isn't being recognized at this stage of the game. As a test of this, the caps lock key does not toggle on/off when I press it while I am restarting the mac...I think it would if the keyboard was functional at this time. Soooo, if I can't use the keyboard to tell the computer to boot from the CD, what do I do?
Any help very much appreciated.
All the best

It is a long shot, but you can try Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC).
As baltwo mentioned, the keyboard is queried very early in the startup process, even before the Mac's firmware tries to a find startup volume it can access to load the OS from. (This is necessary to enable the command + C or option key startup modes, zapping PRAM, or anything else that happens before the OS loads & takes control of the machine.)
So unless the keyboard itself is defective, your USB ports are fried, or the Mac's firmware has been corrupted, you should be able to get it to respond to these commands. In theory, resetting the SMC should not make any difference, but it is about the only thing you can try that doesn't involve the keyboard itself.
