Description Joshua N Pritikin 2005-12-08 10:27:40 UTC 
What seems essential is an option to store indexes on a separate partition and
NOT in /home.  The reason is because /home is on RAID1 with 30 days of backup on
RAID1.  I don't have infinite RAID1 space so I don't want to store the indexes
in /home.  I know I could use symlinks but what would be better is to flip a
switch (single admin option) and have all the indexes for every user go into
/cache/beagle/$USER/ or wherever.

You can control where Beagle stores its indexes by setting the BEAGLE_STORAGE
environment variable.  Adding export BEAGLE_STORAGE=/cache/beagle/$USER in
/etc/profile (or someplace similar) should do the trick.
