$TMPDIR is set to a partition w/ ~10Gb of free space. I think I may have
figured out the problem (and a nasty work-around): it seems that GNU sort is
interpreting the sort column of db.wordlist as a command line argument; i.e.
if the line in db.wordlist begins "-something" sort is freaking out! I
simply did a `sed 's?^-??'` on db.wordlist and then moved the new file into
place. htmerge ran successfully. This being said, there's got to be a
better way!!
On a different note, I am having other problems. I know that this is not a
htdig limitation, but the Solaris 2.5.1 machine I'm running this on has a 2Gb
file size limitation. Is there any way to have htdig split into multiple 2Gb
files? I know that I can manually limit things to the point where the
various db's are <2Gb, but that's not really a solution either. I need a
dynamic db! I guess I could move to Solaris 2.6, which doesn't have the 2Gb
limitation. I'd like to hear how other folks have dealt with this problem.
As you can see, I'm indexing a *huge* amount of documents...
Thanks!
