Thanks for the info. After years of using ext3 because a friend had a bad
experience with Reiser, after the upgrade to 9.3 I let this one machine use
Reiser by mistake... Guess I'll do a complete rebuild with 10.1 and go back
to ext3... ;-)

I don't think this is a cyrus problem.

My main machine is running suse9.3 with postfix & cyrus on reiserfs, and my workstation is running
postfix only.
When I installed suse10.0 on my workstation I got the same problem as David, and was going to
write a ticket at novells support site, but they have messed it up so badly with required fields
to fill in with product types and junk where it was impossible to find anything that matched,
so I gave up after 30 minutes in the novell product djungle, and rolled back 9.3 :-(

Well, I was going to write a ticket about failed nvidia install, broken sound, broken autofs
and souch, it was after I sent a mail to their support I noticed that it was stuck in mailq.
