I'm a little confused about your use of the word "reload", see below.
But if this doesn't clarify things, or your experiments give strange results, could you please start posting sample configurations so we can be sure we're talking about the same thing?

Changing the index-segment-path in config to point where? I guess you *could* point at your old Solr index directory for, say, core1. But the normal path would be <solr home>/cores/core1/. Under that directory you should have a bin, conf, and data just like you had under <solr home>. Reloading doesn't have much to do with the actual contents of the .../data directory, if you relocate stuff you'd have to copy those three directories to the place that corresponds to the path in solrconfig.xml I've never had one core point to the <solr home> directory and other cores point to the "normal" place, so I can't speak from experience but it seems to me that this should work. > > thanks to clarify > > paul > > > Le 29 avr. 2011 à 03:12, Erick Erickson a écrit : > >> You simply create two cores.
