Description johann.petrak 2007-04-30 18:47:30 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
I have a symlink from .beagle/TextCache to /somewhere/else/TextCache 

Beagle produces many error messages that look like this:
System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a part of the path
"<Home>/.beagle/TextCache/86".
  at System.IO.FileStream..ctor (System.String name, FileMode mode,
FileAccess access, FileShare share, Int32 bufferSize, Boolean anonymous,
FileOptions options) [0x00000]

(Beagle.Daemon.IndexerAddedReceipt r, Beagle.Indexable indexable) [0x00000]
  at Beagle.Daemon.LuceneQueryable.Flush () [0x00000]

These error messages do not occur when TextCache is directly contained within .bealge (without a symbolic link).

Does this happen every time?
Yes.

I could not reproduce the problem. Are you sure symlink is correct i.e. can you manually cd to "cd ~/.beagle/TextCache/86" ?
Comment 2 johann.petrak 2007-05-16 19:54:56 UTC 
OK -- I just did the following:
1) shutdown the beagle demon
2) cd .beagle
 mv TextCache /somewhere/else
 ln -s /somewhere/else/TextCache
3) restarted the beagle demon

Everything seems to work now. This is version 2.16.3.ubuntu4 -- maybe this has been fixed in the meantime?
I was pretty sure that this was not a broken link, since I tried this several times before I gave up and reported the original bug, but who knows, maybe I messed up several times in a row -- sorry if that was the case.

Seems this can be closed.
Comment 3 Debajyoti Bera 2007-05-16 20:33:40 UTC 
Hmm... I dont remember anything changing. Who knows what was wrong! Since it is working now, I am closing this bug. Please reopen if the problem reappers.
