Re: [Zope] Zope does not respond but still running

I have a similar problem. I am trying to reindex a lot of object (approx. 140.000) in a TextIndex and after about 10 minutes of hard work and eating up the CPU, swapping like hell and taking away 90% of the memory, the processes calm down and begin to "sleep". Just sometimes a process becomes running again for a few seconds. The swapping goes on like if he's still trying to reindex.

After updating my machine (128MB RAM) to 500MB of swapspace, there's no change. The zope processes are running, but neither can I access the ZMI nor my site.

Any ideas? Look at "subtransactions" in the ZCatalog "Advanced" tab. Activate them. This will reduce memory consumption.
