What do you mean by "deletable" indexing files?

Moving to RHEL5 should have no effect (vs other platforms) on how much disk space is used.

However, Lucene's disk usage can be surprising. While merging segments it will temporarily require free space equal to the size of the resulting merged segment. For a large merge this can be a sizable percentage of your total index size.

Hi

I'm using Lucene on a RHEL5 box. The indexing folder is growing extremely large, more than 20 GB, with a lot 'deletable' indexing files. It runs out
of the disk. I have to clear the entire folder and start indexing from
blank. The code ran fine before I moved it onto RHEL5. Does that matter?
Can anyone give some suggestions on how to solve this issue?

Thanks in advance.
