We've had this problem before and we did a makehistory -O -x -F
That didn't fix the problem. We didnot remove the old overview first.

makehistory -O -x -F took more than 1 week (big spool, the history
file is more than 5Gb). So we simply can't remove the old overview first.

Can we use tdx-util to fix this? However, the spool is cnfs and
not traditional.

Thanks.
