Even with the bug of not correctly indexing all of your files, doing a static index for these two NFS directories is probably a good idea anyhow. You don't want constant network traffic when indexing these files. > is this easily possible? e.g. will i have to index the large directoy > every time as a hole or will it add the changes? You can use the beagle-build-index tool for this. Take a look at the manpage or look at the beagle-crawl-system shell script to see an example of how it works. Essentially you can create a cron job for this, and Beagle will recrawl the directories and add any new files to the index. If you place the indexes in /var/cache/beagle/indexes, they will be automatically picked up when you restart the beagle daemon.
