I sent out an email to this list a few weeks ago about how to fix a corrupt index. I basically edited the segments file with a hex editor removing the entry for the missing file and decremented the total count of files from the file count that is near the beginning of the segments file.

One, we are getting a FileNotFound exception (too many open files). THis would seem to indicate that I need to increase the number of open files on our Suse 9.0 Pro box. I have our sys admin working on this problem for me. Two, because of this error and subsequent restarting of the box, we seem to have lost an index segment or two. My client's tape backups do not contain the segments we know about. I am concerned about the missing index segments as they seem to be preventing any further update of the index. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to fix this besides a full re-index of the problem indexes? I was wondering if maybe a merge of the index might solve the problem? I could move our nightly merge of the index files to sooner, but I am afraid that the merge might make matters worse? Any ideas or helpful speculation would be greatly appreciated.
