Hello again!

I have a DLE with more than 378k files in it (that's not a joke), I'm trying 
to restore it using (again) amrecover. The DLE is found without a hitch, 
however, it's been now 30 minutes that I've issued the "add *" command, and I 
still don't have the prompt. OUCH.

On a previous DLE with 170k files, this command barely took more than 2 
minutes, so there's something mysterious to me...

Out of curiosity, I ran an strace on the running amindexd process on the 
server side. I see that it reads from the uncompressed index file 4k at a 
time, but not very fast, as witnessed by this command (Linux RHEL 4.x, the 
amanda package comes from RH):

----
root@circe ~ # strace -r -p 4033

     0.000000 read(3, "04-14/xml/TEST-com.one2team.sear"..., 4096) = 4096

     1.568277 read(3, "nit/2007-04-19/html/com/one2team"..., 4096) = 4096

[you'll have guessed that this share contains junit test results]

Is this expected? No, I haven't had a peek at the source yet, but I find 
surprising that it takes so long to complete. Is this another reason why I 
should go 2.5.x, at least on the server side?

Have fun,
