We have released Zimbra Version 10.1.17, bringing meaningful improvements across the Modern WebClient — from how you compose and read email to how you schedule meetings — along with fixes for ZCO, mobile, and server components, and several important security patches your teams should be aware of.

We strongly recommend all admins and users to upgrade for improved stability and enhanced email compatibility.


What’s New in 10.1.17


Security Patches

⚠ RHEL 9 and Ubuntu 22: SSHA256 password hashes on these platforms may cause authentication failures after password changes or migrations. Reset affected user passwords post-upgrade to restore access — passwords generated after the fix will be created correctly.

The post Product Advisory: zmpurgeoldmbox May Delete External Storage Blobs After Mailbox Migration appeared first on Zimbra : Blog.

]]> Applies to: Zimbra Collaboration Suite 10.1.15, 10.1.16 with external object storage (Scality, S3, OpenIO)

Summary


What Happened

In ZCS 9.0, running zmpurgeoldmbox after a zmmboxmove correctly cleaned up only local metadata (MySQL + Lucene indexes) on the source server, leaving external blobs untouched. In ZCS 10.1.15, a code change inadvertently altered the logic that identifies external/centralized storage. As a result:

Am I Affected?

You are affected if all of the following are true:

  1. You are running ZCS 10.1.15 or 10.1.16
  2. You use external object storage (Scality, S3, OpenIO, or similar) as a primary or secondary (HSM) volume — especially with unified storage enabled
  3. You perform mailbox migrations using zmmboxmove with blob-skipping attributes (zimbraMailboxMoveSkipBlobs=TRUE or zimbraMailboxMoveSkipHsmBlobs=TRUE)
  4. You run zmpurgeoldmbox on the source server after migration

If you use only local (internal) storage and no external object storage, this issue does not affect you.

Behavior Comparison: ZCS 9.0 vs 10.1.15

Scenario ZCS 9.0 ZCS 10.1.15 (Bug)
External/unified storage, no –forceDeleteBlobs Blobs preserved Blobs DELETED
External/unified storage, with –forceDeleteBlobs Blobs preserved * Blobs DELETED
Internal (local) storage only Blobs deleted (expected) Blobs deleted (expected)

* In ZCS 9.0, –forceDeleteBlobs was not implemented for external stores (Bug 96149). It is being properly implemented as part of the fix.

Immediate Workaround

The Fix

The corrected behavior in 10.1.17 will be:

Storage Type Without –forceDeleteBlobs With –forceDeleteBlobs
Internal (local) Blobs deleted Blobs deleted
External (non-unified) Blobs preserved Blobs deleted
External (unified) Blobs preserved Blobs deleted

What To Do Next

  1. Immediately stop running zmpurgeoldmbox after mailbox migrations in any environment with external storage. Disable related automation.
  2. Audit recent migrations: if zmpurgeoldmbox was already run, verify blob integrity on the destination server using:

zmprov gmi user@example.com

zmblobchk -m -v –output-used-blobs start

If the output shows “blob not found” errors for external locators (containing @@), those blobs have been deleted.

  1. If data loss has occurred, check if your object storage provider supports versioning or soft-delete, there may be a recovery path.
  2. Plan for the 10.1.17 patch: after upgrading, you can safely resume zmpurgeoldmbox and clean up residual metadata from the workaround period.

Questions?

If you have questions, please contact Zimbra Support.


Affected versions: ZCS 10.1.15 through 10.1.16 (all editions)

Fix version: ZCS 10.1.17 (targeted)
