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

Are you indexing files on NFS (or something mounted remotely) ? This seems to be a problem with index synchronization (which, I think, copies the index locally, does more indexing and copies it back upon shutdown). I noticed there is a flag to turn off this feature: $ beagle-config daemon ToggleIn

Restarting w/o losing the indices

2005-10-11 Thread Henry S. Thompson
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 During my first week of using beagle, I was shutting down the daemon and restarting it quite a lot. Almost always, this caused a complete loss of access to the previously built indices -- queries and beagle-index-info both showed nothing left, althoug
