If you want to know more about index synchronization, this is from the changelog of beagled/IndexSynchronization.cs =>
Index Synchronization * If PathFinder.HomeDir is on NFS, or BEAGLE_SYNCHRONIZE_LOCALLY is set we synchronize the indexes locally (to /tmp/beagle-$user). * Needed to move all the indexes to a separate directory, so if you don't want to re-index everything, move them to ~/.beagle/Indexes. * Configuration option to disable synchronization totally. ... <snip> On 10/12/05, D Bera <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Are you indexing files on NFS (or something mounted remotely) ?
