Subject: [PATCH 0/2] index: support --compact / -c
Date: Sat, 28 Mar 2020 00:56:02 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200328005604.17573-1-e@yhbt.net> (raw)
It looks like HDDs and SSDs have gotten and will get even more
expensive due to manufacturing freezes from the pandemic.
Indexing (especially with --reindex to fixup old bugs) takes a
large amount of space, so support running compact immediately
after indexing to avoid users having to script a -compact
invocation for each inbox. Compacting before indexing can be
triggered by using this switch twice, to further reduce space
overhead at a small time loss.
Note: I only found the bug fixed in 1/2 while testing 2/2. It
took me a while to fix this bug because I've probably lost 10
IQ points from the stress of recent weeks :<
