VREHASH(1) VMailMgr Tools Documentation VREHASH(1)NAMEvrehash - Reorganize users directory\n" "Renames user directories in a
virtual domain to match the current\n" "partitioning scheme
SYNOPSISvrehashDESCRIPTION
This program is designed to be run after the sysadmin has changed the
"user-dir-bits" or "user-dir-slices" configuration variables. It
creates a new users directory called "new.users", where "users" is the
configured name of the user directory. It then traverses the password
table, creates a new user directory name for each user, and moves the
user's mail directory to the new directory name, creating any necessary
directories as it goes. Any alias entries in the password table are
copied as-is.
RETURN VALUE
Returns 1 if any part of the process fails; 0 otherwise.
NOTES
When the process is completed, a the old users directory will have been
moved to "backup.users". If no errors occurred, you should be able to
safely delete this directory and all its subdirectories. Check this
directory first, though, to ensure that no important files remain.
WARNINGS
This program is not particularly careful to clean up after itself if an
error occurs. If an error occurs, you will have to check the status of
the current directory, the virtual password file, and all the virtual
users subdirectories in both "users" and "new.users".
