This email is a gentle reminder to back up your tags unless they are 100% mechanically generated.
Last night, while testing some scripts that do a bunch of "notmuch new", "notmuch tag" and "notmuch search" commands, I suddenly started getting an error: "A Xapian exception occurred opening database: Db block overwritten - are there multiple writers?" I hopped over to #notmuch and asked for help. ojwb asked for a directory listing of my xapian directory and informed me my basA and baseB files were missing. I ended up restoring from a recent dump of the db. I'm not sure how this happend (I only interact with that directory via notmuch), but I suppose if it happened to me it could happen to you. So backup those tags. -J _______________________________________________ notmuch mailing list notmuch@notmuchmail.org http://notmuchmail.org/mailman/listinfo/notmuch
