To: notmuch@notmuchmail.org Date: Tue, 17 Nov 2009 14:00:54 -0500 [ multipart/mixed ] [ multipart/signed ] [ text/plain ] I saw the LWN article and decided to take a look at notmuch. I'm currently using mutt and mairix to index and read a collection of Maildir mail folders (around 40,000 messages total). notmuch indexed the messages without complaint, but my attempt at searching bombed out. Running, for example: notmuch search storage Resulted in 4604 lines of errors along the lines of: Error opening /home/lars/Mail/read-messages.2008/cur/1246413773.24928_27334.hostname,U=3026:2,S: Too many open files I'm curious if this is expected behavior (i.e., notmuch does not work with Maildir) or if something else is going on.

Looks like Carl's mail server is broken. He's traveling to Barcelona today and so it won't get fixed for a while.

I hadn't even seen that Keith's blog post had been picked up by lwn.net. That's very interesting. So, thanks for coming and trying out notmuch. > Error opening > /home/lars/Mail/read-messages.2008/cur/1246413773.24928_27334.hostname,U=3026:2,S: > Too many open files Sadly, the lwn article coincided with me having just introduced this bug, and then getting on a Trans-Atlantic flight. So I fixed the bug fairly quickly, but there was quite a bit of latency before I could push the fix out. It should be fixed now. > I'm curious if this is expected behavior (i.e., notmuch does not work > with Maildir) or if something else is going on. Notmuch works just fine with maildir---it's one of the things that it likes the best. Happy hacking, -Carl
