Comment(by tomeu):

 Replying to [comment:6 OllyBetts]:
 > I wasn't commenting on the wisdom of writing indexes to mounted devices.
 I was just suggesting a strategy for recovering from Xapian version
 upgrades/downgrades, etc.

 Just in case somebody may think that the negative remarks in this ticket
 and others are about the Xapian index, I would like to leave here my
 opinion that the problems we are having in the datastore are not caused by
 Xapian itself, but because of the (wrong) way we are using it.

 Olly Betts and Richard Boulton have been very helpful when troubleshooting
 our use of Xapian and, as far as I have seen, none of the problems we are
 having are in Xapian.

 Thanks again!
