You shouldn't need to do this. It's created automatically. Also by "recreating" do you mean that the users already had Lucene indexes and you deleted them? > tbudkevy 29186 3.7 0.0 6616 3056 ?

My guess is that this was a very brief race condition in ps between reading process's UID and the command line. Unless you can easily reproduce this? > Should ~%s/Maildir/lucene-indexes be filled after having run the command > sequence for all users? Only if there was something in the INBOX. Also if users already had previous Lucene indexes it doesn't work, you need to run doveadm fts rescan because dovecot.index remembers which message was last indexed to Lucene.
