Hi everyone,
Wesley Terpstra was able to fix some problems with lurker that prevented
me from rebuilding the database properly with the new linux-xfs
archives. It turns out it wasn't a problem with XFS, but was a bug in
the lurker code that prevented it from handling an issue with some old
messages.
The combination of some database core changes in lurker and XFS made for
a speedy rebuild, humanistically (read: rough approximation) half the
time it took with the old lurker and ext3. Whoopee. ;)
Our archives at <http://marc.free.net.ph/> now have messages from the
linux-xfs list. The machine that hosts it is powered by XFS as well. My
sincerest gratitude goes out to those who provided copies of old mail.
You know who you are.
I hope the searchable archives will be useful.
--> Jijo
