I believe that if you can ensure no add/modify/delete operations occur during the rebuild window, you can do a rebuild of the RI while Fedora is running.
However, the rebuild utility checks to see if Fedora is running before letting you proceed (by doing a GET for /describe). So you'll need to cause that check to fail somehow. I'd play with either tweaking fedora.fcfg's serverport or tweaking access to /describe in web.xml if you don't want to modify the source of fedora.server.utilities.rebuild.Rebuild On 08/30/2008 12:25 AM, Anoop Kumar is rumored to have said: > Hi, > > > Is it possible to rebuild resource index while fedora server is running? > > Our resource index got corrupted and we rebuilt it following the > instructions on this page: > http://www.fedora.info/download/2.1.1/userdocs/server/cmd-line/index.html > > The process involves stopping fedora server, run fedora-rebuild script > and then restart fedora server.
