[Dspace-general] too many open files

[Mark Diggory]

FilterMedia doesn't actually interact with Lucene directly, only  
indirectly in that any generated text bitstreams will get picked up  
later when "index-all" is called. So, no, running filtermedia will  
not solve your too many files open issue.

The current version of <dspace>/bin/index-all will rebuild your  
entire lucene search index (and this will be completely optimized as  
welli). The usual suggestion is to run it nightly in a cron job on  
your dspace server. if you look in <dspace>/search and see many many  
"segment" files there, this may suggest that your index is not  
optimized.

Cheers,
Mark
