lei-reindex(1)

lei-reindex1

Reindex messages already in lei/store

Usage

lei reindex [OPTIONS]

Overview

Forces a re-index of all messages previously-indexed by lei-import(1) or lei-index(1). This can be used for in-place upgrades and bugfixes while other processes are querying the store. Keep in mind this roughly doubles the size of the already-large Xapian database.

It does not re-index messages in externals, using the "--reindex" switch of public-inbox-index(1) or public-inbox-extindex(1) is needed for that.
