I vaguely remember seeing something about that going past. Is there any documentation on custom deletion policies? Or example code for such a beast? At the moment at any given point we have to have disk space to allow for 3x Index size - index, backup we've just taken and previous backup we're just about to delete. Since our indexes are large even 2x is quite an issue. I've read through JIRA LUCENE-710 but a more point-and-drool explanation would be useful to someone who hasn't been up all night :) Simon --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
