Subject: Getting imapd to recognize configuration changes

I just added some partitions to the Cyrus mail system. I updated
/etc/imapd.conf to include these partitions but when I tried to use cyradm
to creat a mailbox on one, I was told "Unknown/invalid partition". After
about an hour of trying to figure out what I had done wrong, all of a
sudden the cyradm command that had not worked, did.
I then realized that I had been talking to "old" imapd processes that did
not know about the new partitions because they had not re-read
/etc/imapd.conf. Should they be re-reading it on every new connection? If
not, should a HUP signal to the Cyrus master process cause this (it does not
seem to)? Is there a best way to get /etc/imapd.conf changes recognized by
all imapd processes?
