Re: Beagle and NFS

["Kevin Kubasik" <kevin kubasik net>]

It does sound plausible, at the moment, the best solution for NFS
directories is the beagle-build-index tool which can build static
indexes, and is the recommended solution for that.

However, there were plans to allow daemons to communicate over the
network and allow parallel searches, however, this has become
depreciated in the more recent builds. Perhaps someone would want to
revive that?
