Bug: fatal error with notmuch new, second run starts indexing all over again

Bug: fatal error with notmuch new, second run starts indexing all over again

[Gregor Zattler]

Dear notmuch developers,

notmuch new fails while indexing my emails and when executed a
second time it obviously starts over again.  This is on a
up-to-date debian stetch with notmuch from git:

0 (master) grfz@len:~/Mail$ notmuch new
Found 940740 total files (that's not much mail).
Error: A Xapian exception occurred. Halting processing.
Processed 659979 total files in 1h 43m 20s (106 files/sec.).
Added 584654 new messages to the database.
Note: A fatal error was encountered: A Xapian exception occurred
1 (master) grfz@len:~/Mail$ notmuch new
Error: A Xapian exception occurred. Halting processing.
Processed 660023 total files in 1h 44m 45s (105 files/sec.).

Note: A fatal error was encountered: A Xapian exception occurred
1 (master) grfz@len:~/Mail$ notmuch --version
notmuch 0.24.2+100~gab02265

The resutling xapian databases are not as large as I would
expect (an older xapian database from another config is 11 G
big): 

0 (master) grfz@len:~/Mail$ du -hs .
28G     .
0 (master) grfz@len:~/Mail$ du -hs .notmuch
7,1G    .notmuch

It's now not possible to search with notmuch:
0 (master) grfz@len:~/Mail$ notmuch search date:year..
0 (master) grfz@len:~/Mail$

Any ideas how to proceed in order to get a working notmuch setup?


Ciao, Gregor

Some things to try

1. Check disk space
2. run xapian-fsck
3. run "notmuch new" under gdb to try to get a backtrace
4. use "git bisect" to try to find what commit introduced this problem

> 1. Check disk space

Sorry, forgot to mention: there is enough free space on RAM (8
GB) and SSD (40 G free).

> 2. run xapian-fsck

xapian-check does not find any errors, only spelling and synonym
are "Lazily created, and not yet used."

> 3. run "notmuch new" under gdb to try to get a backtrace

I have no clue about gdb, there was no backtrace:

Try setting a break in _notmuch_database_log (b _notmuch_database_log)
and run "bt" at that break point. It might (or might not) be worth
continuing after the first breakpoint to inspect other errors.

[Tomi Ollila]

You could also try notmuch new --verbose 

--- and then look into the last file it was indexing when crash occurred...

Since the gdb output shows a filename I looked at its contents:
There is a second "Content-Length:" -Header which does not make
sense but otherwise should not be a problem.  

Since its an email from an open mailing list I attach it to
this very email.

I then configured notmuch to scan the whole mail folder

--> This time it's another file with another email but at closer
inspection it shows it also has two "Content-Length:" -headers.  For
the sake of consistency I attach the file to this very email.


I then created a test maildir folder with the first offending email as
the very only email and configured notmuch to only scan this test
maildir folder: *no problem*.  I the put the second offending email in
the test maildir folder and tried again: *no problem*



I then rescanned the maildir folder with emacs-org-mode mailing list
emails with notmuch from debian stretch:

Since notmuch from debian strech also produced a xapian exeption I
assume bisecting will be of no help.  I'll try to bisect but the next
week or so I don't have much free time.  I also will run memtest and
smartmontools.


Thanks for your help, Gregor

Excuse the intrusion, but I don't see anything in there that looks like
a solution to the OP's problem (the undesired quoting of the underscore
when exporting the org file to LaTeX): what am I missing?

I was going to suggest that life would be much easier for the OP if he
could change all underscores to some other character in his bibliography
(I often see colons and minus signs used e.g.) That may or may not be
possible of course, but if it is possible, it would be the simplest
solution: the treatment of _ in the LaTeX exporter is often the source
of frustration. That is not the fault of the exporter of course: TeX
makes it very complicated to determine what the right thing to do is.

Looks like reftex is the culprit - you can blame the guy who created
reftex, what's his name? Ah, yes: Carsten Dominik :-)

But why do you have reftex turned on in an org buffer?

It might or might not be related, but I noticed that those two messages
get merged for me into a thread 1734 messages long of org-mode messages
(I have some old org messages, but I think I not the two you mention).

I'm not sure yet if it's a bug in notmuch, or something strange about
mail from the org-mode list.

This *might* be related with some other problem I reported
regarding false threading of messages, as discussed in the thread
containing amongst others id:874nvcekjk.fsf@qmul.ac.uk

Short version: Some of the messages on this mailinglist had very
weired References: headers mot probably causing notmuch to
misbehave while threading the messages.  But then there was no
xapian exeption involved.


Otherwise I did an extensive memory test: no prblem and an
smartctl -t long and -t offline test: no problems.  Remains to do
a bisecting but I have no free time atm.  Will report back later.

Ciao, Gregor

Right. I looks like there are indeed many message-ids in the resulting
database that look like valid email addresses. So that problem persists,
despite an attempted fix discussed in that thread.

I was wondering if the exception could result from overflowing some
internal limit due to threads many thousands of messages long. I will be
hard to know until I can replicate the exception. Perhaps a more
complete org-mode list archive would do it.

Quite possible, when I do 
notmuch show  --entire-thread=true --format=mbox path:Mail/~ml/emacs-orgmode@gnu.org/**   date 64 bit 32 > /tmp/emo.mbox
and open the resulting mbox with mutt, it shows 10199 messages.

There is fun to have regarding message ids:

0 grfz@len:/tmp$ grep -c "^Message-ID:[[:space:]]" eom.mbox 
8758
0 grfz@len:/tmp$ grep -ci "^Message-ID:[[:space:]]" eom.mbox 
10174

I then split the mbox with mutt in a maildir folder.  This were
10199 individual files.  I then extracted the message ids via
formail from this files and piped this through sort -u.  These
were 10105 message ids.

The maildir with the emacs-orgmode@gnu.org emails contained 114563
individual files.  I removed every file somewhere containing one
of those message ids.  Now there were only 102164 individual files
in the maildir.

And after that I indexed this cleaned up maildir.  If somehow
this message threading problem affects the indexing it should now
index the files without xapian exeption:

The referenced file is the second one I attached in this thread.




So your/Davids intuition was right.  The problem has to do with
this threading problem.


I also did extensive memtest and every kind of smartctl test
possible, to be sure this is no hardware problem.



I then downloaded parts of the archive, merged and sliced it and
now I have a sample of 25001 total files (that's not much mail),

For me this corpus does not produce an exception (although it does have
one thread with 5067 messages).

I'm running Debian testing, so there could be slightly different
versions of xapian and gmime. What versions of libxapian-dev and
libgmime-2.6-dev have you built notmuch against?

I cannot view this ATM because I cannot index these emails.  When
viewd with mutt there are no such gargantuan threads.

This is strange.  I rerun the self compiled notmuch new on this
corpus and it did not throw an exeption, nore did the debian
stretch binary.  I have no idea why this is different with the
first run.

On my way reducing the corpus I had an intermediate corpus of
~43000 files on which notmuch new produced a xapian exeption.  I
kept this corpus but did not include the test results in my email
because the later, smaller corpus seemed more interesting.

I redid the test on this mid-sized corpus and I got an
exeption (again):

I can finally replicate the crash. I do crash in a different place
(after processing 25184 files), so it suggests a certain non-determinism
or dependence on the host configuration.

Anyway, now that I have a test case, I'll try and figure out what the
underlying Xapian exeception is.

I would assume the first difference is in the file system:
Perhaps the files are accessed in a different order!?

Re: Bug: fatal error with notmuch new, second run starts indexing all over again

I run notmuch 0.27 and xapian 1.4.3 (from the Debian stretch repo).

Now that Xapian 1.4.6 is released (which should contain fixes to prevent
the database corruption that may occur due to this bug) I will upgrade
to it.

I believe the problem is a Xapian bug still present in 1.4.6. The
following patch (to Xapian) seems to fix it for me:

          https://oligarchy.co.uk/xapian/patches/glass-cursor-rebuild-fix.patch

If I understand correctly Olly will release Xapian 1.4.7 pretty soon
with this fix (and another one that affects the notmuch test suite).

As far as I know this was dixed in xapian 1.4.7, so marking it fixed for
notmuch.

I redid the test with my mid-sized corpus from the org-mode
mailing liste which used to crash notmuch when indexing.

That's indeed not the case any more with a up to date

- debian 11/bullseye,

- GNU Emacs 29.0.50 (build 3, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, cairo
  version 1.16.0) of 2021-12-27,

- notmuch 0.34.2+41~g063f5e9

Thank you very much for notmuch, Gregor
