Reindex Often / Over 10 hours per

Post by MrKuenning »

First of all, I love everything, it's one of my favorite and most used apps on my PC. I use it as a photo gallery, file manipulator... The use cases never end.

Recently, I set it up to index People and Tags from images. This scan takes about 12 hours to run, as it has to parse through over 3 million images across my PC and my NAS. I don't mind that it takes this long. But I do mind that it will just randomly decide it needs to reindex. When it starts a reindex. I can no longer use any of the indexed metadata for 12 hours until it finishes again.

I have Everything 1.5 indexing 8 drives on my PC, 4 of them come and go.
I also have everything indexing 15 network UNC paths via Folders.

I have the option to remove offline volumes unchecked and I have

Code: Select all

keep_missing_indexes=1 
set in the INI

It will work fine and then randomly start indexing for 12 hours again.
When I check the statistics it says
Last rebuild reason: Out of date NTFS volume E: is available
But nothing changed in my E: drive that I am aware of.

Is there any other ways to tell it to not do a full reindex?
Would I be better off setting up an everything server?
