Okay, command finally completed about an hour and half later with:
nsrck: completed recovery of index for client 'fred'
nsrck: /disk3/nsr_index/fred contains 34769860 records occupying 5181 MB
nsrck: Completed checking 2 client(s)
One thing I noticed was the 'du -sk index' was reporting large and
larger sizes everytime I ran it, so it became obvious that it was still
chugging along. Apparently, after the index is actually recovered from
tape, which is pretty fast, it must then be merged in. nsrck doesn't
tell you anything about what it's doing once it recovers it from tape,
though. I guess I could have run this in verbose mode, but not sure how
much detailed info that would have generated. It would be nice if nsrck
would say something about each category of major steps, as it completes
them, without having to have verbose mode turned on. Maybe something
like: "Now merging", etc.
