Periodic fatal errors while rebuilding index - "no segments* file"... not solved yet?
Fragment of a discussion from Extension talk:Lucene-search
I see this quite often too, it happens at least once a day for us.

The only thing I can think of is that multiple cronjobs are trying to modify the same directory which leads to an inconsistency. Can you be sure this is not happening?
We have already checked it and, as in the above case of Maiden taiwan, we have just one cronjob running at a time. Although I'd hate to do that, I guess maybe we'll have to work on modifying the rebuilding routine or create another cronjob to ensure the rebuilding process does work properly, as we don't know yet why it sometimes fail when it is not supposed to.
