Hi, Thanks for that reply.
I have put the segments in a directory mounted using NFS. I wasn't sure whether the .nfs stood for NFS or for Nutch File System :-) A couple of more questions ... 1) When a new segment is added to the segments directory, is there a way to make nutch see that new segment without restarting that application ? 2) As far as I have understood, I need to index a merged segment to make it 'mergable' with newer segments. Is this correct ? Thanks again and Have a good weekend, Praveen.
