I'm chasing up all possibilities, since so far I cannot find any issue with NFS being a factor here (at least, I cannot find any NFS related kernel message in the logs on the machines in question).
What's the best strategy to handle this scenario: 1. open index for merging. 2. loop 3. add_index ($subidx). 4. if error, then what? # I currently return without committing or anything else 5. end loop. 6. commit. I just want to confirm that what I'm doing above is ok: presumably nothing will be committed and the original index will still be ok if I abort the entire loop if a single subindex fails to merge successfully. My logs lead me to believe that the above is not related to the issue I'm experiencing. thanks
