Ferret talk - Oct 2006 - Indexing problems 10.9/10.10

I''ve been having trouble with indexing a large amount of documents 
(2.4M).  Essentially, I have one process that is following the tutorial 
dumping documents to an index stored on the file system.  If I open the 
index with another process, and run the size() method it is stuck at 
90,000 documents. Additionally, if I search, I don''t get results past
an
even smaller number of docs. I''ve tried the two latest ferret releases.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Ben

You need to compile Ferret with large-file support. I''ll put a section
in the FAQ later.
