How long for overview rebuild?

[Paul Reilly]

Hi inn-workers,

Can someone say what the average time to do do an overview rebuild is?

12836 p1  S<+    26:23.75 makehistory -O -x -F

I started the above command at 3am Sunday morning, and it's still running
2 days 6 hours later... this seems too long! Though it's certainly
producing the overview data as I can see it building up on disk.

I'm running innd 2.3.1 on OpenBSD 2.8 with soft updates enabled. Articles
are in CNFS buffers, and overview was in buffindexed. However that was
giving problems with some readers, and so I've changed to an ovmethod of
tradindexed. My overview directory is now at 2.2 GB (which is similar to
what was in the overview buffers. I have 14.7 million articles listed in
the history file.

Thanks

Paul
