Hi We have been running a Magnolia instance for a few weeks (2.1 nightly, revision 881). Our backup procedure has been to shut down the author instance and making a tar.gz of the repository directory (is this the recommended method of backing up Magnolia content?)
This morning we got the following error after starting up the server: ERROR info.magnolia.cms.beans.config.ContentRepository ContentRepository.java(loadRepositories:257) 24.06.2005 05:08:21 System : Failed to load JCR "website" term out of order: term out of order info.magnolia.repository.RepositoryNotInitializedException: term out of order: term out of order: term out of order: term out of order: term out of order When inspecting the file repositories/website/workspaces/default/index.dat we found that the size of the file was 201GB! (which is impressive considering that the total disk size is 116GB). Stat of index.dat: File: `index.dat' Size: 215169786752 Blocks: 3576 IO Block: 4096 regular file Device: fd00h/64768d Inode: 9670563 Links: 1 Access: (0664/-rw-rw-r--) Uid: ( 1034/magnolia) Gid: ( 5001/magnolia) Access: 2005-06-24 11:19:33.000000000 +0200 Modify: 2005-06-24 10:24:37.000000000 +0200 Change: 2005-06-24 11:23:53.027945069 +0200 We were able to solve the problem by removing index.dat and restarting the server. This created a new index.dat and everything seems to be working fine. However, we are somewhat concerned about this behaviour and would like to know if others have had this problem and how we can prevent this from occuring again?
