Tushar:
Is it necessary to do the optimize on each iteration? When you run an
optimize, the entire index is rewritten. Thus each index file can have at
most one hard link and each snapshot will consume the full amount of space
on your disk.

What I gather from this discussion is -
1. Snapshots are always hard links and not actual files so they cannot
possibly consume the same amountof space.
2. Snapshots contain hard links to existing docs + delta docs.
We are facing a situation wherein the snapshot occupies the same space as

Yes, of course they are stored on disk. The hard links are created from the
actual files inside the
Ok
If these are hard links, then where does the index data get stored? Those must
be getting stored somewhere in the file system.

When we run the snapshooter script, it creates a snapshot folder e.g.
snapshot.20090418064010 and this snapshot folder contains physical index files
which take space on the file system (as shown below). Are we missing anything
here?

the snapshooter does not really copy any files. They ar just hardlinks
(does not consume disk space) so even a full copy is not very
expensive
