Arne-
Disabling the metastore worked!  Thanks so much for the quick help.

Also, thank you Miles for the upgrade suggestion - we do plan to move to 2.1 
very soon and are very excited about all the new functionality.

Subject: Re: [Geoserver-users] GWC overwriting existing tiles

Part of the idea behind the metastore is to figure out cache misses (or the 
need for a tile refresh) without traversing the directories, so I doubt this 
has changed.

You would have to write a small program to rebuild the database yourself, if it 
has really been shot. Alternatively, if you don't use any of GWCs more advanced 
features, you may be able to get away with just disabling the metastore. (Try 
setting GWC_METASTORE_DISABLED  to true in web.xml, the same way you define 
GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR).

All-
We are running Geoserver 2.0.2 with GWC.  We have many gigabyes worth of tiles 
built for several map themes.  We had some server issues, and following a 
restart, it seems that GWC no longer recognizes that the tiles exist.  When we 
view the themes in OpenLayers (using GWC), the existing tiles get overwritten 
on the server.

My guess is that somehow the metastore database no longer recognizes that the 
tiles exist?

Is there some way to refresh/rebuild the metastore based on existing tiles on 
the server?

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Morgen
