After reindex -a folder /var/piler/tmp is 27 GB big

[Jan Ebinger]

After my last update disater i decided to migrate my archive to a new host.

I run reindex -a for reindexing my sphinx data. Now the /var/piler/tmp folder is 27 GB big.

Is there a way to clear the tmp folder?

Stop all piler daemons, then rm -rf /var/piler/tmp; mkdir /var/piler/tmp

Btw. if the reindex process grew /var/piler/tmp to 27 GB, then something didn’t go well.

Also if you had a sphinx index data files, then there wouldn’t be a need for a complete reindexing. You can copy the sphinx just fine.
