I'm looking at this, but response is very slow on daedalus right now.
When indexing swish writes to *.temp files and when finally done indexing
the files are renamed, which replace the existing files.
This is error message is odd, in a number of ways:
1) When indexing swish writes a couple of files. On of them, the
.prop.temp file shown in this error, is closed and reopened in read mode
(for speed up read access for the final indexing stage). So swish was able
to close the file without any errors, but when it tried to reopen it the OS
said the file didn't exist. I've never seen this happened before. There's
plenty of disk space.
2) There was an index file created at the time of this message from cron
(09:53:34 -0700), but it's corrupt. The error above aborts swish indexing
so the .temp files should still exist (and not overwrite the existing index
files) since swish aborted before the files could be renamed. I'm not
clear how corrupted indexes got written.
3) Maybe I need coffee. On my machine I keep the swish-e binary in the
"search" directory and then the search script runs ./swish-e.
On the live site it lives at /home/perlwww/bin/swish-e.
But in the swish.cgi program I see:
my $swish_binary = $ENV{SWISH_BINARY_PATH} || './swish-e';
and I don't see where SWISH_BINARY_PATH is set when running as a CGI script
(I looked in httpd.conf, and .htaccess and ../.htaccess).
I fear I'm missing something obvious here.
4) It's impossible to work on daedalus now. Very slow to respond. Server
seems loaded. I've never seen it so slow. I don't know what normal is for
the web server, but:
41.6 requests/sec - 5.1 MB/second - 124.6 kB/request
900 requests currently being processed, 0 idle workers
5) Brian's plea to reduce disk space hasn't freed much space, if any. At
96% now.
