Where do write ops take place?
to the xapian index subdirectory
Maybe mount that path to a RAM disk rather than looking for anorher solution.
not a solution for a problem but workaround

Excellent way of killing SSD. something must be broken. my config is plugin { plugin = fts fts_xapian fts = xapian fts_xapian = partial=2 full=20 verbose=0 fts_autoindex = yes fts_enforced = yes # fts_autoindex_exclude = \Junk # fts_autoindex_exclude2 = \Trash } any ideas?
