Post subject:  Optimizedb - How Long?

Hello,

How long should it take to run the Optimizedb script? I started it about 45 minutes ago and it seems to have hung. I did stop mythbackend prior to running the script. From what I can tell it is stuck on the recordseek table. I know that this is probably the biggest table on my system, but this amount of time seems excessive. I don't want to just break out of the process, but my wife would also like to watch something soon.

It should only take a minute or two at the most. Perhaps you have to repair the recordsseek table?

That's what I thought. It has now been over an hour, so I guess i will break out of the process and see what happens.

It shouldn't take terribly long to run but it's dependent on the speed of your system and the size of your DB. Also depending on which one you use, optimize_db.sh should display progress information to let you know where it is and how it's doing.

I figured out that my / partition was dreadfully low on disk space. Once I deleted the offending file everything works as expected.

Make sure you go through the DB recovery/repair pages on the wiki. When the partition fills up it's very common for your DB to suffer ill effects.
