I am trying to use buildindex but I run into trouble: 1.- the man page and the usage displayed by the command are inconsistent. According to the man page, buildindex takes two arguments and may take two options
venti/buildindex [ -B blockcachesize ] [ -Z ] venti.conf tmp but execute buildindex with no arguments and you get usage: buildindex [-bd] [-i isect]... [-M imem] venti.conf options -b -d -i -M are not described in the man page and I have no idea what they are supposed to do (although I can imagine the use of -i and -b), and there's no tmp file required anymore. 2. I edited my venti.conf, so now it looks like index main isect /apollo/hugo/isect0 isect /apollo/hugo/isect1 # --> new line, not found in the original venti.conf arenas /apollo/hugo/arenas0 arenas /apollo/hugo/arenas1 # --> new line, not found in the original venti.conf but when I ran venti/buildindex -i isect1 $home/lib/venti.conf I got err 2: mismatched number index sections: found 2 expected 1 venti/buildindex: can't init venti: mismatched number index sections: found 2 expected 1 so I removed the isect1 line from my venti.conf and executed venti/buildindex -i isect1 $home/lib/venti.conf and got 1,731,717 clumps, 63,903 buckets 2009/0513 10:35:35 read index warning: did not find index section isect1 2009/0513 10:35:35 arena arenas00: 236950 entries 2009/0513 10:35:36 arena arenas01: 317534 entries 2009/0513 10:35:36 arena arenas02: 69564 entries 2009/0513 10:35:36 arena arenas03: 231390 entries 2009/0513 10:35:37 arena arenas04: 246845 entries 2009/0513 10:35:37 arena arenas05: 65202 entries 2009/0513 10:35:38 arena arenas06: 65204 entries 2009/0513 10:35:38 arena arenas07: 77445 entries 2009/0513 10:35:38 arena arenas08: 65197 entries 2009/0513 10:35:38 arena arenas09: 65189 entries 2009/0513 10:35:38 arena arenas010: 126699 entries 2009/0513 10:35:39 arena arenas011: 137570 entries 2009/0513 10:35:39 arena arenas012: 26928 entries 2009/0513 10:35:39 done arenaentries=1,731,717 indexed=0 (nskip=0) which complains about not finding isect1, so I am quite confused now. I also tried some other combinations, but I always got the "mismatched number of index sections" error. I saw Steve's article, but he uses the syntax described in the man page which, if given to my buildindex version, produces the usage output on screen. Note that I am using p9p. Any help appreciated. -- Hugo
