INN and overview (recovering from crash)

[Alexandre CHERIF]

Re

thanks for the tool, i'll try it. I've the use makehistory/expireindex and it seems to have
resolved my trouble. so AFAIK to recover from bash oveview:

just make:

PREFIX/bin/makehistory -S -O -I PREFIX/tmp/list.temp -f temp.history
and
sort -t' ' +1 -2 PREFIX/tmp/list.temp | PREFIX/bin/expireindex -a -o -z  

and then move the temp.history* to history*

ps: this method use a lot of ram and disk, for me with a 1.3Go of history, it has take
12 hours and the maximum of disk was 3 times the size of the old history.
