Is there a way to configure things so that search and new data indexing get cached under the control of solr/lucene? Then we'd be less reliant on the OS behavior. Alternatively if there are OS params I can tweak (RHEL/Centos 5) to solve the problem, that's an option for me. Would you know if 1.4 is better behaved than 1.3? Thanks, Jerry
