[Xapian-discuss] Xapian over NFS (again...)

[shad]

Hi everyone,

I've read some of documentation about xapian over NFS and I have
probably found a bug.

I use several readers on a xapian index mounted over NFS. I use a
try/catch mechanism to reopen database only on modifications
(DatabaseModifiedError exception). My software works great on a local
filesystem. But I noticed that there is no DatabaseModifiedError
exception raised on NFS. So all readers never reopen the database on
modifications. I tried some different configurations. For example set
NFS mount with sync, noactime. But nothing changed.

I ask myself if it's a good thing to reopen the database for each search query.

Thanks for any comment / help.
