Hello, on my box the htdig package is used to index locally available documentation. What turns out to be a problem is that while indexing it consumes mad amounts of HD space. du -sh /usr/share/doc reveals that I have 378 MByte of documentation installed. While indexing, htdig consumes up to 1,2 GByte of HD space, i.e. more than three times the size of the installed docs. Even when indexing is done, the disk usage of /var/lib/htdig is still 600 MByte, i.e. still significantly more than then docs themselves.
Recently, I there were several instances that my / partition overflowed due to htdig's HD space hunger. Is this normal? Would I have to live with it if I want a fulltext search of my docs? Or are there suitable alternatives? Thanks, Johannes -- ~/.signature under construction -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
