Remove index data user wise

Process

  • Get the exact location of user's index data.
  • Delete only data using 'rm-rf' command and not directories
  • Execute the reindex command to re-create index data.


Following are the exact steps to remove and re-create the index data

  • Pick user 'user@example.com' and obtain the mailbox ID:
zmprov gmi user@example.com
  • Once you got the ID, for example '13', then the location of the index data would be:
/opt/zimbra/index/0/13/index/0

If ID is 14, then the location would be :

/opt/zimbra/index/0/14/index/0
  • Now required to remove data from '/opt/zimbra/index/0/13/index/0/' location.
rm -rf /opt/zimbra/index/0/13/index/0/*
  • Reindex account.
zmprov rim user@example.com start

It will regenerate the index for "user@example.com" account.

  • To know the status of reindex
zmprov rim user@example.com status
