You need to make sure your storage does not lie in response to an fsync command. If it does (most commercial stuff does), you cannot guaranty no corruption. Search google for "your harddrive lies to you" or something.

It shouldnt be that hard to take the patch from the issue and apply it to a checked out version of 2.3 right? I don't think it relies on other 2.4 stuff as there isnt much of it yet.

When you previously saw corruption was it due to an OS or machine

LUCENE-1044, which is fixed on the trunk version of Lucene (to be 2.4
at some point) but is not fixed in 2.3.

Yes - it's power outages and other unnatural events (sysadmins accidentally kill -9ing the process) that caused it.

What's the chances of me backporting the fix to 2.3 or should I just wait for 2.4?

Come 2.4 is my buffering to RAM redundant?

Thanks,

Simon
