From b7678f950923a0e6fb59a8d17f21292cdb143d63 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Wong Date: Tue, 4 Feb 2020 21:44:04 +0000 Subject: doc: recommend -compact after --reindex It's likely a user will be low on space after running --reindex, so recommend the use of public-inbox-compact afterwards. And add a few more notes about using public-inbox-compact to clarify it's for inboxes-only (and not any old Xapian DBs) that using xapian-compact(1) directly is error-prone and likely to break things. --- Documentation/public-inbox-index.pod | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'Documentation/public-inbox-index.pod') diff --git a/Documentation/public-inbox-index.pod b/Documentation/public-inbox-index.pod index 610dacbe..6dc6a3aa 100644 --- a/Documentation/public-inbox-index.pod +++ b/Documentation/public-inbox-index.pod @@ -38,7 +38,8 @@ Forces a search engine re-index of all messages in the repository.
