Full-text index won't update (2nd post)

We have a 12 GByte database replicated over 3 servers. We discovered that the full-text index of one of the replicas had not updated for several months. (The other two are up to date). There is plenty of room for the index on the server. Forcing an update doesn’t work, in the Client info box or through the Admin tools. Deleting the index also doesn’t work either way–it indicates that it was deleted, but a few minutes later you see the old update date.

We’re also having trouble with at least one document not replicating from our other servers to this one, and vice versa. Could these problems be related?

Subject: Solution to Full-text index won’t update (2nd post)

Well, after some more research I found a way to get rid of the old corrupted index. I’ll post it here in case someone else needs it.

I had tried updall in the console with -F, but it didn’t work. This time I tried -X with updall, which should have removed the old index and rebuilt it, which is what appears to have happened, and the search is working well again.
