The whole point of this branch is to rescue tags from a broken database, so the user presumably already ran the real xapian-check and it's not useful to be repeating those checks here. Hopefully that'll get us to actually rescuing some tags! Cheers, Olly ___ notmuch mailing list -- notmuch@notmuchmail.org To unsubscribe send an email to notmuch-le...@notmuchmail.org

Should this binding also be added to the message window? ah sure, I don't use emacs anymore so I won't have time to update these patches. sorry about that :( feel free to mark these as abandoned unless someone wants to pick it up.

Ah - this tool currently requires the termlist table to be undamaged enough to at least scan through. You could try commenting out the body of GlassTable::set_overwritten() in xapian-core/backends/glass/glass_table.cc so it keeps going instead of throwing this exception, which might allow it to usefully recover some or all tags. If you (or anyone) try that and it works let me know and I can patch the branch to emit a warning message and continue there. If the postlist table is readable it'd be possible to rescue the tag data from there instead, but that's more complicated to do because the tags would need collating for each message.
